| A Solitary Sandpiper was the best discovery on Bank Holiday Monday,
but unfortunately it chose far flung St Kilda, Western Isles, to make landfall.
Mainland discoveries came in the form of a popular Great White Egret at
Leighton Moss RSPB, Lancashire, a Marbled Duck at Leathes Ham, Suffolk,
White-winged Black Tern in Funton Creek, Kent and Squacco Heron in
Dorset. A Greenish Warbler at Rockland Broad, Norfolk, was a superb find
away from the coast. A Gull-billed Tern was once again reported off the
Norfolk coastline, this time at Cley and Blakeney, and a report of three
Black Storks came from Porthleven, Cornwall.
On the Norfolk coast just one Greenish Warbler remained, a well-watched bird at Walsey Hills NOA. Equally popular rarities were the White-winged Black Tern in Essex, Great White Egret in Wiltshire and Ferruginous Duck in East Yorkshire. An Ortolan Bunting graced Portland Bill and a party of three Ortolan Buntings flew over nearby Ferrybridge. There were several Wrynecks, Red-backed Shrikes and Barred Warblers available in southern England, the Woodchat Shrike was at Church Norton, West Sussex for its second day, a Dotterel visited St David's Airfield, Pembrokeshire, the Purple Heron was still at Frensham Little Pond, Surrey and the Red-necked Phalarope continued its stay at Cantley beet factory, Norfolk. |
