| The highlight of the day was the discovery of a male Blue Rock Thrush at Selsey Bill, West
Sussex; watched flying in off the sea during an early morning seawatch it fed for twenty minutes before departing to the north. Observers searching for this
later in the day bird located a Glossy Ibis that showed into the evening.
Glossy Ibises elsewhere included sixteen still in Gloucestershire with a
further seven in Cornwall and singles in both Devon and Lancashire. Other new rarities included a Bonaparte's Gull on the Axe Estuary, Devon, a male Eastern Subalpine Warbler on North Ronaldsay, Orkney and three White-billed Divers on Shetland Isles. The Black Kite on the Wirral and Whiskered Tern in Co Cork both lingered overnight whilst other long-staying rarities included Iberian Chiffchaff and Black Kite in Norfolk, Lesser Yellowlegs in Herefordshire, Spotted Sandpiper in Cornwall, Laughing Gull in Devon and American Herring Gull on Western Isles with single drake Lesser Scaups in Leciestershire, Western Isles and Perth and Kinross. |
