| With cooler northerly air over much of the country it was not surprising that
arrivals of migrants slowed down a little, with the obvious exception of the
south west coasts where one or two notable falls occurred. Biggest of these was
at Portland Bill in Dorset, where grounded migrants included 100+Redstarts,
2000+Willow Warblers, 500 Wheatears, 20 Grasshopper Warblers,
100 Chiffchaffs, 5 Ring Ouzels, 6 Pied Flycatchers and 15.Tree
Pipits. Among these along the south coast were Hoopoes at Portland
Bill and on the Isle of Wight, and Wrynecks at Portland Bill, the Isle of
Wight and Dungeness in Kent.
No new rarities were found, but the Killdeer was still on Shetland and the Eastern Subalpine Warbler was reported again at Rame in Cornwall. However, the Lesser Scaup in Edinburgh could not be found. The Laughing Gull put in another appearance in Devon and the Marbled Duck remained in Gloucestershire, with the Spotted Sandpiper again being reported in Cornwall. The Pallas's Warbler was still in Kent and Spoonbills were popular in Gloucestershire and Gwent. |
