| A Bee-eater was seen briefly at Witham, Essex but, unfortunately, it
was not seen by anyone but the initial observer. A drake Lesser Scaup
remained on Balgray Reservoir, Clyde for its second day, and an adult White-rumped
Sandpiper was located amongst the Dunlin flock on Cley North Scrape,
Norfolk. Also at this site, and three others in England, was an adult
Pectoral Sandpiper.
Long staying rarities included the White-billed Diver on Orkney and the Glossy Ibis in Merseyside, and late news for yesterday concerned a Red-footed Falcon in West Sussex. The Hoopoe continued to show well in Yorkshire, near York, and the Red-backed Shrike was again seen at Sea Palling, Norfolk. A press release from the Somerset Ornithological Society heralded the arrival of a new breeding species to the county, and possibly to Britain, with a pair of Cattle Egrets raising one young this summer. |
