| Once again the Black-browed Albatross at Sula Sgeir, Western Isles stole the limelight by putting on a superb show for those aboard the RBA Albatross Twitch. Initially located following the boat early in the morning it was then watched for nearly an hour both in flight and resting on sea. A Semipalmated Sandpiper was a new discovery at Belfast Lough, Co Down whilst single Glossy Ibis at Dungeness, Kent and Marshside, Merseyside were presumably relocating birds seen elsewhere in the country in recent weeks. The Spotted Sandpiper remained at Blackditch, Co Wicklow and a Bee-eater was seen again near Dalhavaig, Highland. News broke that the Snowy Owl was still on St Kilda, Western Isles yesterday. Long-staying rarities included the Iberian Chiffchaff in Norfolk, King Eider in Moray and three Glossy Ibises and Marbled Duck in Gloucestershire whilst the Wilson's Phalarope remained in Cambridgeshire as did Bonaparte's Gulls in Oxfordshire and Co Wexford and the probable Balearic Woodchat Shrike was still in Cornwall. |
