Fair Isle in the the Shetlands took the honours today, with a smart Terek
Sandpiper found at South Harbour, along with a new Short-toed Lark,
the long-staying Lesser Grey Shrike, plus two Red-backed Shrikes
and an Iceland Gull. Elsewhere the White-tailed Plover put in
another brief appearance at Leighton Moss in Lancashire and there were two new Bee-eaters:
at Tarbet in Highland; and Minsmere in Suffolk.
The Great Reed Warbler continued to sing near Lydd in Kent, the Great White Egret remained at Tophill Low in East Yorkshire and the long-staying Killdeer was still on Mainland Shetland, although now at the Pool of Virkie. A Temminck's Stint was found at Murton Gravel Pits in Angus, a Marsh Warbler was on the Isle of May in Fife, an Icterine Warbler was at Sumburgh on Mainland Shetland and the female Red-backed Shrike remained at Blakeney in Norfolk. In the south west small numbers of Balearic Shearwaters are now starting to be seen at typical locations, heralding the onset of autumn seabirds. |
