| The highlights of another busy day were the discoveries of a Broad-billed Sandpiper
in Gwent at Goldcliff, a Lesser Scaup in North Yorkshire at Cleasby,
Subalpine Warblers in Norfolk at Sea Palling and in Cornwall at Nanjizal (2) and, on the Western Isles, an
American Herring Gull and at least two White-billed Divers on Lewis. The more aerial migrants were well represented with eight Red-rumped Swallows (five together in Dorset and singles in County Cork, Devon and Wirral), single Black Kites in Hampshire, Kent and the Shetland Isles and Bee-eaters in Berkshire, Cornwall, Dorset and Norfolk. Lingering rarities comprised the Snowy Owl on the Western Isles, both Ross's Gull and Glossy Ibis in Lancashire, Whiskered Tern in Dorset, American Herring Gull in County Galway and two Black-winged Stilts in Cheshire. Cattle Egret reports consisted of nine in Cornwall and singles in Ceredigion, Nottinghamshire and Wirral. Black Terns were again in evidence in England and Wales with 353 recorded from 25 counties including maximums of 52 in Norfolk, 46 in Cambridgeshire, 42 in Gloucestershire and 42 in Hertfordshire. |
