| The highlight of the day was the continued presence of the Northern
Waterthrush, Yellow Warbler and Solitary Sandpiper together on Cape Clear, County Cork. Elsewhere in Ireland, a
Semipalmated Sandpiper was seen on The Mullet, County Mayo and the Buff-breasted Sandpiper remained in County Clare. Other rarities discovered today included a Citrine Wagtail in Suffolk at Landguard, the returning Bonaparte's Gull in Angus at Scurdie Ness and a brief Bee-eater at Port Erin, Isle of Man. A Purple Heron was new in Suffolk as was a Red-backed Shrike in North Yorkshire and both Ortolan Bunting and Wryneck in Dorset. Lingering rarities comprised the Semipalmated Sandpiper still in Devon, Baird's Sandpiper in Cambridgeshire, Black Stork in North Yorkshire, Glossy Ibis in West Yorkshire, three Cattle Egrets in Somerset, Great White Egret in Shropshire, single Marsh Sandpipers in both Essex and Norfolk and both Pacific Golden Plover and White-billed Diver on the Orkney Isles. |
