| A male Black-headed Wagtail reported among a large number of White
Wagtails at Lough Foyle, County Derry is a potential first for Ireland and will
no doubt be keenly searched for tomorrow. What was presumably the Black Kite
seen between Sheringham and Cley on Sunday was relocated at Titchwell, Norfolk,
early morning, then moving to the Burnham Deepdale area where it remained for
most of the day and proved remarkably obliging for this usually difficult
species. The Black Kite on Scilly proved similarly co-operative, showing
to birders on both St Mary's and St Martin's. A drake Lesser Scaup was
reported at Eyebrook Reservoir, Leicestershire in the evening, where a drake Green-winged
Teal was already present.
At least 14 Glossy Ibises could still be seen at Slimbridge WWT, Gloucestershire, with seven remaining on The Lizard, Cornwall, and the long-staying bird at Warton Marsh, Lancashire. Although there were no new individuals reported today, there are surely still others from this remarkable influx still lurking unnoticed in the south-west. The Iberian Chiffchaff continued to hold territory at Colney, Norfolk, at least one White-billed Diver remained off Lewis in the Western Isles, but yesterday's Black-throated Thrush on Fair Isle, Shetland appears to have departed. The Marbled Duck at Saul, Gloucestershire, Spotted Sandpiper at Hayle, Cornwall and Laughing Gull at Topsham, Devon remained yet another day in their respective localities. A Richard's Pipit at Lytham Moss, Lancs was a good Spring record while, more typical of the season, Hoopoes put in brief appearances at Lossiemouth, Moray and Bishop's Stortford, Hertfordshire, but one at Calshot in Hampshire was much more obliging. A female Ring-necked Duck at North Plain RSPB, Cumbria, was a new find, and healthy total of eight Spoonbills were seen in the Cley area, Norfolk. |
