| The Lincolnshire Audouin's Gull made another appearance in the Chapel
Point area this evening and on Orkney a new Pacific Golden Plover arrived
on North Ronaldsay. A Black Kite flew south over Sunk Island, East
Yorkshire, a Cattle Egret was noted at Colyford Common LNR, Devon, the
Pacific Golden Plover reappeared at Anthorn, Cumbria and other lingering
rarities included Semipalmated Sandpiper in Co Cork, Citrine Wagtail
on Fair Isle, Marsh Sandpiper at Hickling Broad NWT, Norfolk and
White-winged Black Tern near Inverness, Highland.
A Red-necked Phalarope in Gloucestershire, Grey Phalaropes in Hampshire and Somerset (2), Wryneck at Landguard NR, Suffolk, Icterine Warbler briefly at Castle Carrock, Cumbria and Corncrake at Flamborough Head, East Yorkshire were the headline scarcities. |
