| The highlight of the day was the discovery of an American Buff-bellied Pipit
on St Mary's, Isles of Scilly - the tenth record for the British Isles but the third this week! Other noteworthy birds around the archipelago included
Spotted Sandpiper, Buff-breasted Sandpiper and Barred Warbler on St Mary's,
Buff-breasted Sandpiper, Wryneck and Sabine's Gull on St Agnes and a
Sabine's Gull past Tresco. A Greater Yellowlegs present briefly at Baston, Lincolnshire perhaps constitutes only the fifth inland record of this species for the British Isles. A Lesser Yellowlegs in Suffolk at Walberswick was a more routine discovery as were single Great White Egrets in Essex, Nottinghamshire and Suffolk. On the Shetland Isles a Citrine Wagtail was found on Mainland at Sandwick and Spotted Sandpipers were present on both Unst and Yell. Elsewhere around the islands the American Buff-bellied Pipit and three Barred Warblers were on Fair Isle, the Arctic Warbler remained on Out Skerries, Pectoral Sandpiper at Fleck and on Unst Melodious Warbler, Common Rosefinch and two Barred Warblers were seen. Other lingering rarities comprised Wilson's Phalaropes in County Down and Worcestershire, Long-billed Dowitchers in Lincolnshire and Norfolk, Black Kite in Cornwall, Cattle Egret in Highland and Great White Egret in Lancashire. |
