| A Black Kite drifted east over Regent's Park, London this afternoon
and on Shetland two White-billed Divers were logged, one in Mousa Sound
and another off West Burra. Lingering rarities included King Eiders in
Devon and Ayrshire, Black Duck in Pembrokeshire, Spotted Sandpiper
in Glamorgan, Hume's Yellow-browed Warbler in Cornwall and Lesser
Scaup in Somerset. A Ross's Goose was in Aberdeenshire for its second
day, whilst long-staying Ross's Geese also remained in Lancashire and
Norfolk. A total of seventeen Cattle Egrets were reported in southern
England.
In Suffolk the White-spotted Bluethroat showed again at Minsmere RSPB, but only until mid morning and in Dorset the Pallas's Warbler continued to sing in Weymouth. In Ireland, late news from yesterday related to an American Herring Gull on Loop Head, the first for Co.Clare. |
