| Yet another Yellow-nosed Albatross - but again, news has reached
birders after the event - and once again, the report is accompanied by crippling
photos taken by a non-birder. Following the bird released off Brean Down,
Somerset on 30th June and at least two birds seen in Scandinavia recently, news
was released tonight of another at Manor Farm Fishing Lakes, in Manton,
Lincolnshire on 3rd-4th July, where it was photographed by a local fisherman.
The number of individuals involved in all the recent Western Palearctic records is
open to speculation, but one thing is for certain, there may well be more out
there waiting to be found - check your local reservoir, perhaps it is not quite
game-over for Yellow-nosed Albatross just yet.
The best discoveries today were a Buff-breasted Sandpiper at Coedbach Marsh, Carmarthenshire, Red-necked Phalarope at Cley NWT, Norfolk and Pacific Golden Plover at Tacumshin, Co Wexford. Elsewhere, it was left to long-stayers to create the rest of the news; these included the Glossy Ibis in Merseyside, Hudsonian Whimbrel in Cumbria and Bonaparte's Gull on Western Isles, where a Rose-coloured Starling also remained. |
