| The highlight of the day was the discovery of a Citrine Wagtail on St.Mary's, Isles of Scilly. Elsewhere, an elusive
White-rumped Sandpiper arrived at Titchwell, Norfolk. Lingering rarities comprised the Black Stork in East Yorkshire, Semipalmated Sandpiper in Devon, Citrine Wagtail on Shetland Isles, Great White Egret in Shropshire, Hooded Merganser in Dorset, single White-winged Black Terns in both Kent and Merseyside, and both Pacific Golden Plover and White-billed Diver on the Orkney Isles. Scarce migrant landbirds recorded today included 13 Wrynecks, seven Barred Warblers, two each of Ortolan Bunting, Icterine Warbler and Common Rosefinch and singles of Tawny Pipit, Melodious Warbler, Rose-coloured Starling and Red-backed Shrike. An influx of Grey Phalaropes in the south and west totalled twenty individuals across nine counties including one inland, in Berkshire. |
