| The highlight of the day was the continued presence of many scarce migrant landbirds; principally on the east coast of north England and southern Scotland. Day totals comprised thirty
Wrynecks in sixteen counties, 14 Barred Warblers in nine counties, six each of
Icterine Warbler and Red-backed Shrike, five Red-breasted Flycatchers and single
Ortolan Bunting, Melodious Warbler and Common Rosefinch. Associated rarities included single
Greenish Warblers in each of Cleveland, County Durham and Northumberland and the
Subalpine Warbler in County Durham. An Alpine Swift was discovered between Gimingham and Mundesley, Norfolk whilst new arrivals on the Shetland Isles were headlined by a Two-barred Crossbill on Fair Isle and a Citrine Wagtail at Sullom. Elsewhere, lingering rarities included the Pacific Golden Plover in Dumfries and Galloway, Baird's Sandpiper in County Kerry, Aquatic Warbler in London, Citrine Wagtail on the Shetland Isles, Snowy Owl on the Western Isles, White-billed Diver on the Orkney Isles, Great White Egret in Hampshire, Hooded Merganser in Dorset and single White-winged Black Terns in both Kent and Staffordshire. Grey Phalaropes remained in evidence in England and Wales with 23 recorded from thirteen counties. |
