| For many birders it was a wet, dismal day in south Wales as the Glaucous-winged
Gull was only seen very briefly near Ferryside in Carmarthenshire late in
the afternoon. The Pacific Diver did remain on view, however, not far
away at Llys-y-Fran Reservoir, in Pembrokeshire. Cornwall also still had many
attractions, with the Gyr near Padstow, and the White-billed Diver
at Hayle, topping the list. However, there was no sign today of yesterday's Franklin's
Gull at Hayle, but the Spotted Sandpiper was still to be seen, with
the American Wigeon still near Wadebridge and the Yellow-browed
Warbler still in Penzance. In Devon, both the Cattle Egret at
Otterton and the Surf Scoter at Beer remained. Other long-stayers
included the Barrow's Goldeneye in Forth and Lesser Scaups in
Dumfries & Galloway and Perth & Kinross. A White-tailed Eagle
continued to entertain in Aberdeenshire as did a Lesser Snow Goose in
Lancashire.
An American Golden Plover was a new find near Sleaford in Lincolnshire, with the only other new bird today being a possible Bonaparte's Gull near Nimmo's Pier in Galway, in Ireland. |
