| Today's main highlight was a Greater Yellowlegs found with Greenshank
at Gibraltar Point in Lincolnshire. Frustratingly for many, it was seen in the
morning and then again in the early evening, but did not linger on either
occasion. In Highland, belated news came of a Baltimore Oriole seen last
week at John o' Groats. Other new rarities found today included a Squacco
Heron at South Slob in County Wexford, a Baird's Sandpiper on Tiree
in Argyll, an American Herring Gull in Cornwall and a first summer Bonaparte's
Gull which was seen briefly in the evening at Deeping Lakes in Lincolnshire.
The Little Crake was again on Unst in the Shetlands, while at the other end of the country Squacco Herons remained popular in London and on The Scillies. The Broad-billed Sandpiper was again on show at Back Saltholme Pool in Cleveland and the pair of Lesser Scaup were still at Cresswell Pond in Northumberland. The recent Scandinavian flavour was still evident with up to three Red-backed Shrikes in Norfolk and further birds in Yorkshire, Lincolnshire and the Shetlands as well as Scarlet Rosefinches in Norfolk and Lancashire and a new Icterine Warbler on Fair Isle. |
