| The highlight of the day was the reappearance of a Stilt Sandpiper at Coombe Hill Meadows, Gloucestershire. First seen on Friday - when it was suspected of being a dowitcher -
this county first was located there again this afternoon and showed well into the evening. In Ireland, the fourth Fea's Petrel of the autumn was recorded, this time in County Clare passing the Bridges of Ross, and in County Louth a Long-billed Dowitcher found at Dundalk Docks was perhaps a returning individual. Lingering rarities were headlined once again by the Audouin's Gull on the Lincolnshire coast between Sutton on Sea and Chapel St Leonards. Elsewhere, the Marsh Sandpiper remained in Norfolk as did the Glossy Ibis in West Yorkshire, Greenish Warbler in Northumberland, Cattle Egret and Hooded Merganser in Dorset and Great White Egret in Hampshire. |
