| Another Great Reed Warbler was located today, in the reeds by the East
Bank, Cley NWT, Norfolk. The bird is probably a female, as it is not singing,
and is therefore proving tricky to relocate. The singing male remained at Amwell,
Hertfordshire. Bee-eaters were in Suffolk and Devon, and Red-footed
Falcons were at six sites, involving at least eight birds.
A Red-rumped Swallow was seen briefly in Essex, and lingering rarities included Forster's Tern in County Wexford, Bonaparte's Gull in Devon, King Eider in Shetland and the two Black-winged Stilts still at Neumann's Flash, Cheshire. Other notable records included an Ortolan Bunting on St Kilda, Western Isles, Bluethroats on Hilbre Island, Wirral, Inner Farne, Northumberland and St Kilda, Western Isles, Red-backed Shrike in Aberdeenshire and a Common Rosefinch on Orkney. |
