| Whilst there were no new birds in Ireland today, Cape Clear Island once again
attracted attention, with the continued presence of the Northern Waterthrush,
Yellow Warbler and Solitary Sandpiper. Nearby, the second
Yellow Warbler was still at Mizen Head. Other North American rarities
included a Semipalmated Sandpiper at Dawlish Warren NNR, Devon, although
this bird has apparently been present three days. The Baird's Sandpiper
was still inland, at Paxton Pits NR, Cambridgeshire, and the long staying
Long-billed Dowitcher remained at Dundalk Docks, County Louth..
A Red-footed Falcon was seen this evening at Holme, Norfolk, and the Marsh Sandpiper was still at Rush Hill Scrape, with another still present at Heybridge GPs, Essex. A Wilson's Petrel was seen from this evenings Scilly pelagic, and the juvenile Black Stork continued its stay in North Yorkshire, near Cawood. The Glossy Ibis was once again at Swillington Ings, West Yorkshire, and the White-billed Diver was in Water Sound, Orkney. |
