| A good number of Red-footed Falcons were seen again today, including
birds in Essex, Dorset, South Yorkshire, West Yorkshire and Bedfordshire, with
several 'possibles' also seen around the country, including one as far north as
Merseyside. Other notable sightings include an adult summer Franklin's Gull,
seen in flight over Stithians Reservoir, Cornwall, a Great Reed Warbler
at Lakenheath RSPB, Suffolk and a Citrine Wagtail on Fair Isle, Shetland.
Other rarities seen included Whiskered Terns in Glamorgan and Gloucestershire, Lesser Yellowlegs' in Northumberland and Suffolk, Bee-eaters on Scilly and in Cornwall, Ross's Gull and Bonaparte's Gull in Lancashire, but the male Spectacled Warbler in Suffolk presumably moved off over night. |
