| The highlight of the day was without doubt the discovery of a Mourning Dove on North Uist, Western Isles. The third record for the British Isles and remarkably less then three miles from the site of the last record, in 1999. Found early in the afternoon it later transpired that a farmer may have seen the bird at the same location on Tuesday. Elsewhere, in Cornwall a Blyth's Pipit flew south over Nanjizal Valley and a Dusky Warbler showed well at Porthcurno. In Gloucestershire an American Golden Plover was reported at Slimbridge. Lingering rarities comprised, in Ireland, American Buff-bellied Pipits in both County Clare and County Cork and Long-billed Dowitcher in County Derry, in Scotland Pine Bunting and Killdeer on the Shetland Isles and American Golden Plover in Aberdeenshire, in England Black Kite in Lincolnshire, Lesser Yellowlegs in Suffolk, Long-billed Dowitcher in Devon, Lesser Scaup in Berkshire and at least one Wilson's Snipe on the Isles of Scilly, and in Wales Spotted Sandpiper and White-rumped Sandpiper both in Glamorgan. |
