| The continued presence of the female Caspian Plover on Fair Isle, Shetland would undoubtedly have made some birders' year, had it been twitchable. Unfortunately, it flew north-west at 10.30am, before the charter planes arrived, and was only seen again once the planes had all departed. A Killdeer was a new arrival on the Western Isles, found at Balranald RSPB, North Uist early afternoon. Four White-billed Divers were seen off North Ronaldsay, Orkney, with another summer plumaged bird remaining off Burghead, Moray. The pair of Black-winged Stilts continued to be mobile, today being found in Essex, at Abberton Reservoir. The Pallid Swift was still on Scilly, on St Agnes for its fifth day, with the male Western Subalpine Warbler seen again on the same island. Elsewhere on Scilly, the three Bee-eaters were very mobile, visiting St Martins, St Agnes, Tresco and St Mary's, with several Golden Orioles also present. Other lingerers included the Ross's Gull in Lancashire, American Herring Gull in Co Galway and the pair of Black-winged Stilts in Cheshire. | ||
