| The highlights of the day were the discovery of a Lesser Yellowlegs at Dingle, County Kerry and a
White-rumped Sandpiper at Ballyteige, County Wexford. Lingering rarities comprised the Semipalmated Sandpiper in Devon, Snowy Owl in County Mayo, American Golden Plover in Kent, White-rumped Sandpiper in Norfolk, Great White Egret in Shropshire, Hooded Merganser in Dorset, Citrine Wagtails on both the Scilly Isles and Shetland Isles and single White-winged Black Terns in Flintshire, Kent and Staffordshire. Scarce migrant landbirds recorded today included seven Wrynecks, five Barred Warblers, two each of Ortolan Bunting, Icterine Warbler and Common Rosefinch, and single Tawny Pipit, Melodious Warbler, Marsh Warbler and Red-backed Shrike. Once again, Grey Phalaropes were much in evidence with 25 seen across twelwe counties, including eleven in South Wales. |
