| The highlight of the day was a Terek Sandpiper at Rye Harbour, East Sussex for several hours before it departed to the east. In adjacent Kent a
Whiskered Tern showed in Stour Valley near Stodmarsh. Elsewhere, brief encounters included a
Great Snipe in Northumberland on Holy Island, an American Golden Plover
in County Mayo at Annagh Marsh, a Red-rumped Swallow in East Sussex over Beachy Head, a
Subalpine Warbler in Kent at St Margaret's at Cliffe, a Bee-eater over Portland, Dorset and single
Black Kites in Norfolk and Somerset. The overnight disappearance of the River Warbler from East Sussex was a disappointment to many but elsewhere lingering rarities comprised the American Golden Plover on Anglesey, Black Duck in County Donegal, Great White Egret in Powys and the family of three Black-winged Stilts in Cheshire. Red-footed Falcon reports consisted of three in Berkshire, two each in Bedfordshire and Suffolk and singles in Derbyshire, Dorset, Hampshire, Kent and Lothian. Scarce migrant passerines included 17 Red-backed Shrikes, 15 Marsh Warblers, 11 Common Rosefinches, eleven Icterine Warblers, three Golden Orioles, six Grey-headed Wagtails and single Tawny Pipit and Short-toed Lark. |
