| New rarities found today came largely in the shape of White-billed Divers
in the northern isles. Three potentially new birds were found: one off Tiumpan
Head on Lewis; a second bird joined the one already present on North Ronaldsay,
Orkney; and one was seen flying up Mousa Sound on the Shetlands. It is difficult
to assess how much overlap of records is involved, but these sightings are
typical of the now regular early spring passage through the northern isles.
Elsewhere a Black Kite was found in County Limerick, with another
remaining on the Scillies throughout the day. Large numbers of Glossy Ibises
remained in Gloucestershire and Cornwall, and the Iberian Chiffchaff was
still on territory just outside Norwich in Norfolk.
Long-stayers included Lesser Scaup on Loch Leven in Perth & Kinross, Barrow's Goldeneye on Loch Venacher in Forth, Spotted Sandpiper in Cornwall and Laughing Gull in Devon. A Serin flew over Hurst Point in Hampshire and Hoopoes were in Hampshire, Norfolk and Hertfordshire, with a belated report of one in Suffolk yesterday. Two Eiders were a very unusual arrival at King George V Reservoir in London and there was an overland movement of Bar-tailed Godwits in the south east. |
