| It was certainly quiet for new rarities on this mid-September Saturday, with
only one discovered, a Citrine Wagtail on Isles of Scilly. The
archipelago also hosted the long-staying Spotted Sandpiper, a new
Buff-breasted Sandpiper, Icterine Warbler and Ortolan Bunting.
At the other end of the British Isles the 8th Night Heron for Shetland was discovered on Bressay, and on Mainland the Baird's Sandpiper and King Eider remained. On Orkney, a possible Wilson's Snipe was observed briefly on South Ronaldsay. In Co Down the Wilson's Phalarope was at Belfast Lough RSPB and in Co Donegal the American Golden Plover remained at Keadew Strand and a Buff-breasted Sandpiper was at Bloody Foreland. A female American Wigeon was discovered at Tacumshin. Back across the Irish Sea, Great White Egrets remained at Leighton Moss, Lancashire and Westhay Moor, Somerset. An adult white morph Snow Goose was tracked south along the English east coast with returning Pink-footed Geese, before it finally arrived at Holkham NNR mid afternoon. The best of the rest included a scattering of Wrynecks and Pectoral Sandpipers and several Honey Buzzards were reported, with the vast majority moving through Cambridgeshire. In Lincolnshire, the Red-necked Phalarope remained at Gibraltar Point NNR, in Devon the Temminck's Stint was still at Colford Common and in Conwy, a confiding Dotterel graced Great Ormes Head. |
