| Today's highlight was the discovery of yet another American Buff-bellied
Pipit, this time on Benbecula, Western Isles. Elsewhere, an Olive-backed Pipit
was at Sumburgh Shetland Isles, a Black Kite at Wadebridge Cornwall and a Great White Egret
at Cley Norfolk. Late news was received of a Desert Wheatear at Land's End, Cornwall yesterday. Lingering rarities comprised both Blyth's Pipit and White-rumped Sandpiper on the Shetland Isles, Greenish Warbler in County Cork, Cattle Egret in London, Black Kite in Lincolnshire, Glossy Ibis in Merseyside, Lesser Scaup in Somerset and Great White Egrets in Hampshire, Lancashire and Suffolk. On the Isles of Scilly, Tresco continued to hold the Blyth's Pipit, St Mary's two Blackpoll Warblers, Short-toed Lark, Woodchat Shrike, Little Bunting, Red-breasted Flycatcher, Richard's Pipit and two Lapland Buntings, Bryher Blyth's Reed Warbler, Red-breasted Flycatcher and two Lapland Buntings and St Agnes Rose-coloured Starling. Ten Yellow-browed Warblers were seen around the archipelago and a pelagic trip yielded a Great Shearwater and six Grey Phalaropes. |
