| The highlight of the day was a fall of displaced Nordic migrants along the Scottish east coast and in particular the Shetland Isles. On Shetland a
Blyth's Reed Warbler was the star discovery alongside the lingering Little Crake
on Unst, Rustic Buntings arrived at Grutness and Fair Isle - the latter accompanying the
Lesser Grey Shrike - whilst Icterine Warblers and Red-backed Shrikes featured prominently with smaller numbers of
Marsh Warblers and Grey-headed Wagtails alongside single Golden
Oriole, Bluethroat and Red-breasted Flycatcher. Elsewhere in Scotland the Baird's Sandpiper was still in Argyll and the Snowy Owl remained on the Western Isles whilst a Buff-breasted Sandpiper was new in Aberdeenshire. Late news was received of a Dark-eyed Junco yesterday on St Kilda, Western Isles. In England a Spotted Sandpiper was a new arrival at Messingham Sand Quarry, Lincolnshire and likewise a Woodchat Shrike at Holme, Norfolk. The Greater Yellowlegs remained elusive at Gibraltar Point, Lincolnshire and the Squacco Heron lingered at Erith Marshes, London as did both the Cleveland Broad-billed Sandpiper and Norfolk Iberian Chiffchaff. Bee-eaters over flew both Northumberland and Suffolk. |
