| A slightly busier day today saw the discovery of a Spotted Sandpiper
at Kinneil Lagoon in Forth, whilst, in Cornwall, a Blyth's Pipit flew
over Polgigga in the afternoon. In Ireland four Cattle Egrets were found
at Cartron in County Galway, with a single bird having been seen yesterday at
Mizen Head in County Cork. Other new Cattle Egrets were in Dumfries and Galloway
and by the River Exe in Devon.
A Great White Egret was at Staines Moor in Surrey until mid afternoon and plenty of Cattle Egrets could still be found in various parts of Cornwall. The Spotted Sandpiper remained in Glamorgan, and other winterers included the White-tailed Eagle in Hampshire, the Desert Wheatear in North Yorkshire, the Wilson's Snipe in the Scillies, and Lesser Yellowlegs in Suffolk and Angus. A Hoopoe was an unseasonal discovery at Kingsley Common in Hampshire. The Pallas's Warbler remained in Suffolk and the Short-toed Lark could still be found in Northumberland. Bitterns were seen at a number of localities, including a very showy bird at Potteric Carr in Yorkshire. |
