| Flamborough Head continued its excellent run of form with the discovery of a
Red-flanked Bluetail, which showed well in the Old Fall Plantation having
previously been trapped and ringed in nearby gardens. Other new discoveries came
in the form of a Blyth's Pipit at Sennen, Cornwall, a couple of
Penduline Tits at Rye Harbour NR, East Sussex and a flyover at Spurn, East
Yorkshire, Spotted Sandpiper at Lisvane Reservoir, Glamorgan,
Bonaparte's Gull in Aberdeenshire and Subalpine Warbler on Fair Isle,
Shetland.
A Lesser Scaup was located at Stourhead NT, Wiltshire and a couple of Ross's Geese were discovered amongst the Pink-footed Geese at Loch Leven, Perth and Kinross. American Golden Plovers were on Ythan Estuary, Aberdeenshire, South Uist, Western Isles, Shortlanesend, Cornwall and Llanrhystud, Ceredigion. Great White Egrets came in twos, at Minsmere RSPB, Suffolk, and between Salthouse and Stiffkey on the North Norfolk coast, whilst a Cattle Egret and Great White Egret remained at Rainham Marshes RSPB. Another Great White Egret was on North Uist, Western Isles and the long-stayer remained at Leighton Moss RSPB, Lancashire. In Glamorgan the juvenile Semipalmated Sandpiper continued to show on the Gann Estuary, and the juvenile Little Bittern at Titchwell RSPB was still present, but it only showed briefly on two occasions in the morning. In Co Cork the Isabelline Shrike was still on Mizen Head. On Isles of Scilly the Blyth's Pipit, Blyth's Reed Warbler, both Blackpoll Warblers and Grey-cheeked Thrush were all still present and a Pallas's Warbler was discovered at Porth Hellick, St Mary's. On Mainland Shetland, the Killdeer and White-rumped Sandpiper were both still on offer. |
