Rare herons were the order of the day with the highlight being a Squacco Heron
at Lough Beg, Co Londonderry - only the second record for Northern Ireland and the first there since 1881. In Kent two
Cattle Egrets - an adult and a juvenile - were found together at Grove Ferry. The Black Kite continued to show well at Nocton Heath, Lincolnshire as did the Glossy Ibis at Marshside, Merseyside. The Lesser Yellowlegs was seen again on the Rogerstown Estuary, Co Dublin and a Wilson's Petrel was again recorded from a pelagic off the Isles of Scilly. Late news for yesterday from the Shetland Isles concerned confirmation that the Lesser Grey Shrike remains on Fair Isle. A total of 34 Black Terns were recorded in thirteen counties scattered between Devon, Conwy, West Yorkshire and Norfolk, however, the White-winged Black Tern had gone from Farmoor Reservoir, Oxfordshire. |
