| Today was a day of more of the same. Two birds found in recent days, the Dusky
Warbler in Cornwall and the Laughing Gull in Devon, both put in
appearances. In Argyll, in west Scotland, both the Ross's Gull and the Black-throated
Thrush were to be seen and both Pacific Divers, in Cornwall and south
Wales, remained.
Two White-billed Divers on Lewis, at Tiumpan Head, may have been the birds seen yesterday at Skigersta, or maybe there are four birds now in the area. In Perth and Kinross, a second Lesser Scaup joined the long staying bird at Loch Leven. Many other long staying rarities could be found around the country, including two Barrow's Goldeneyes, the Bufflehead in Ireland and the Black-eared Kite in Norfolk. Other interesting records included a Rough-legged Buzzard at Snettisham in Norfolk, an Avocet on Mainland Orkney and an arrival of Mealy Redpolls on the Northern Isles. A Grey Phalarope remained on the Thames in London and a Temminck's Stint remained at Slimbridge in Gloucestershire, with a large number of 'white-winged' gulls now present in Ireland. |
