| Today saw a slight increase in migrant activity around the country, but it
was the Shetlands that benefited the most with a Buff-bellied Pipit being
found on Fair Isle and an Arctic Warbler on the Out Skerries. Also on the
Shetlands, both Killdeer and King Eider remained on Mainland, with
a Barred Warbler still on Fair Isle. Elsewhere, a Wilson's Phalarope
was a good find at Upton Warren in Worcestershire, and a Cattle Egret at
Scrabster in Highland is still a true rarity that far north.
The Long-billed Dowitcher remained popular at Titchwell in Norfolk as did the juvenile Long-tailed Skua in Nottinghamshire. The Spotted Sandpiper remained on The Scillies and, in Ireland, Tacumshin continued to hold Baird's Sandpiper, American Golden Plover, three Buff-breasted Sandpipers and American Wigeon. Several Pectoral Sandpipers were scattered around the country and further Buff-breasted Sandpipers were in Cleveland and Yorkshire. The popular Bluethroat remained at Spurn in Yorkshire and there was a Richard's Pipit in London, which is only the second reported so far this autumn. Some quite large movements of hirundines were reported at various localities. |
