| The highlight of the day was the continued arrival of Two-barred Crossbills
in the northern isles. Today four were seen on the Shetland Isles - singles on Mainland at both East Voe of Scalloway and Esha Ness and two on Fair Isle - and three were seen on the Orkney Isles; all on the Mainland at Finstown, Rendall and Stenness. A Bonaparte's Gull was discovered in County Kerry at Castlemaine with other new finds including an American Golden Plover at Elmley Marshes, Kent and a Cattle Egret at Earls Barton, Northamptonshire. In southwest Britain and Ireland productive seawatching took place with Cory's Shearwater counts including site maximums of 710 off Cornwall, 205 off Devon, 53 off County Cork and five off the Isles of Scilly. Great Shearwaters comprised 25 off Cornwall, five off County Cork and three off Devon whilst a Sabine's Gull was seen off Cornwall. |
