| Shetland and Scilly once again stole the limelight for new rarities today
with a Thrush Nightingale found on Fair Isle, Shetland, and a Squacco
Heron found at Porth Hellick Pool, St.Mary's, on the Scillies. Both birds
were found quite late in the day. Norfolk also produced some good birds with an Alpine
Swift found at Cromer in the morning, while, at much the same time, there
was a Red-rumped Swallow at nearby West Runton. Both birds disappeared in
mid morning, but the swift reappeared at Cromer only to vanish again before
being relocated at Sheringham in the afternoon. A Purple Heron was at
Kelling Quags in the afternoon and the Bonaparte's Gull was again at
Hickling Broad, with Bee-eaters at Stiffkey and at Gateley, near Fakenham.
In the south-east a Bee-eater flew over Bockhill Farm, in Kent and a Caspian
Tern was reported in London at the London Wetlands Centre, Barnes.
The White-throated Sparrow was seen again briefly early in the morning in Southampton, the Laughing Gull remained in Devon and the Iberian Chiffchaff and two Black Kites were all to be found in Norfolk. A Red-breasted Flycatcher was on North Ronaldsay in the Orkneys and an Icterine Warbler was on Fair Isle in the Shetlands, but there was no sign of yesterdays Calandra Lark on Unst. |
