| The discovery of an adult summer Terek Sandpiper on the Saltholme
Pools complex in Cleveland early this morning livened up an otherwise fairly
quiet mid-summers day. Present all day, it showed well at times, but was often
distant on the Calor Gas Pool.
Sea-watching started to produce the goods on the south coast, with both Great Shearwater and Cory's Shearwater past Berry Head, Brixham, Devon, along with good numbers of Balearic Shearwaters at several sites. Lingering rarities included Lesser Yellowlegs at Cley NWT, Norfolk, White-billed Diver on South Ronaldsay, Orkney and Glossy Ibis at Marshside RSPB, Merseyside. Scarcities included Red-backed Shrike, Common Rosefinch, Rose-coloured Starling and several Roseate Terns, Spoonbills and Montagu's Harriers. |
