| A Sharp-tailed Sandpiper spent a brief period on the Humber at Sammy's
Point, East Yorkshire mid afternoon, before being pushed off its feeding area by
the high tide - subsequent searching in the surrounding area throughout the rest
of the day unfortunately drew a blank.
The rest of today's new waders were all of Nearctic origin - Baird's Sandpiper and two Buff-breasted Sandpipers on Mainland Shetland, Lesser Yellowlegs and Buff-breasted Sandpiper on Tory Island, Co Donegal, Wilson's Phalarope at Belfast Lough RSPB, Co Down and American Golden Plover and Buff-breasted Sandpiper on South Uist, Western Isles. The other hot news on the Western Isles came from Butt of Lewis, where a staggering 7,114 Great Shearwaters were logged flying past between 7am and 5.30pm. A Fea's Petrel flew past Annagh Head early afternoon and in Worcestershire a Great White Egret was at Grimley new workings until late morning. Lingering rarities included the Wilson's Phalarope in Dorset, Great White Egret in Lancashire, Blue-winged Teal in Cleveland, Pallid Harrier and Citrine Wagtail on Shetland, White-winged Black Tern in Kent, White-rumped Sandpiper in Norfolk, Spotted Sandpiper on Isles of Scilly and two American Golden Plovers in Lincolnshire. The best of the rest included Barred Warbler at Bockhill Farm, Kent, Spotted Crakes in Essex, London, Warwickshire, Cornwall and Hampshire, a scattering of Wrynecks, Red-necked Phalarope at Buckenham Marshes RSPB and Pectoral Sandpiper at Tichwell RSPB, Norfolk, Woodchat Shrike on Isles of Scilly, Red-backed Shrike at Oare Marshes KWT, Kent and two Pectoral Sandpipers in Cambridgeshire. |
