| A small influx of Bee-eaters occurred today, with possibly up to
eighteen birds seen, mainly in Cornwall, although at least two were in Somerset
and one was seen briefly in Norfolk. Two Subalpine Warblers were found,
including another in Cornwall, in Nanjizal Valley, and a first-summer male in
Cleveland at Brotton.
A first-summer Bonaparte's Gull made a very brief appearance at Marton Mere LNR, Lancashire late afternoon, an Alpine Swift spent a few hours at Audenshaw Reservoir, Greater Manchester, and a Whiskered Tern was seen in County Cork. The Killdeer was present for its second day at Balranald RSPB, Western Isles. Drake King Eiders remained in Devon and Ayrshire, White-billed Diver in Moray, Black-winged Stilts in Glamorgan and Cheshire and the mobile pair was located at Elmley Marshes RSPB, Kent. The Pallid Swift on Scilly showed well for much of the day, and the adult Ross's Gull was still in Lancashire. |
