| The most notable discovery of the day was again on the Shetland Isles where a
Blyth's Reed Warbler was located on Whalsay. Elsewhere in the archipelago the
Little Crake remained on Unst with Killdeer still at Exnaboe and Lesser Grey
Shrike, Rustic Bunting and presumed Black-headed Bunting all on Fair Isle. In recent days an impressive arrival of scarce migrants in Shetland has comprised perhaps as many as thirty
Red-backed Shrikes, fourteen Icterine Warblers, eight Marsh
Warblers, eight Common Rosefinches and two each of Red-breasted
Flycatcher, Golden Oriole and Grey-headed Wagtail along with single Barred
Warbler, Bluethroat, Lapland Bunting and Corncrake. The Squacco Heron in Kent appeared at Oare Marshes briefly and in London the Squacco Heron remained at Erith Marshes. A male Red-footed Falcon flew over Drums, Aberdeenshire whilst singing Marsh Warblers were popular discoveries at Rainham Marshes, London and Kessingland Suffolk. Long-staying rarites seen today included the territorial Iberian Chiffchaff at Colney, Norfolk, Snowy Owl on North Uist, Western Isles and the Glossy Ibis at Newton Marsh, Lancashire. |
