| Nearly all the messages today involved seabirds, with the high winds and
strong tidal surge bringing record breaking numbers of Little Auks within
sight of nearly all the seawatching sites along the east coast, with a maximum
count of over 18,700 seen off the Farne Islands, Northumberland. Elsewhere,
5,381 flew past Whitburn Obs, County Durham, 3,400 were off St.Mary's Island,
Northumberland, 2,800 past Flamborough Head, Yorkshire and 1,100 flew past
Gibraltar Point, Lincolnshire. Several birds were reported from inland Norfolk,
including birds on roads and in pub car parks as far from the coast as Norwich.
Large numbers of Pomarine Skuas were also seen, with Leach's Petrels,
European Storm Petrels and Grey Phalaropes also being blown on shore.
An adult White-billed Diver was found off Girdle Ness, Aberdeenshire, by birders searching for Wednesdays Brunnich's Guillemot. Lingering rarities included Glossy Ibis in Somerset, White-rumped Sandpiper and Spotted Sandpiper in Glamorgan, Lesser Yellowlegs in Suffolk, Great White Egret in Lancashire and Lesser Scaup in Berkshire. |
