| The highlight of the day was a juvenile Marsh Sandpiper at Abingdon, Oxfordshire. The bird frequented a flooded field from late morning until late in the evening and constituted the first county record. In Co Clare a wader-double was formed by a
Spotted Sandpiper at Doonbeg complementing the Long-billed Dowitcher at Shannon Airport. The Black Stork remained on the Alaw Estuary, Anglesey whilst other popular long-staying rarities included the Glossy Ibis at Marshside Merseyside and Black Kite at Nocton Heath Lincolnshire; a further Black Kite was reported briefly at three locations in Kent. Elsewhere, the Squacco Heron remained at Lough Beg, Co Derry as did the Bonaparte's Gull at South Uist, Western Isles and the Laughing Gull was seen again on the Exe Estuay, Devon. |
