| The highlight of the day was the discovery of a Paddyfield Warbler on Unst, Shetland Isles. Elsewhere, a
Great White Egret flew over Rainham Marshes, London, and in Norfolk an Alpine Swift
lingered over Holme Dunes in the evening. A Caspian Stonechat was reported in Dorset at Portland Bill during the morning but could not be relocated. Lingering rarities comprised the Hudsonian Whimbrel on the Isles of Scilly, Two-barred Crossbill on the Shetland Isles, White-billed Diver on the Orkney Isles, Subalpine Warbler in County Durham, White-winged Black Tern in Kent and single Great White Egrets in both Hampshire and Shropshire. Scarce migrant landbirds included seventeen Wrynecks in twelve counties, two each of Barred Warbler, Red-backed Shrike and Lapland Bunting and single Melodious Warbler, Ortolan Bunting, Icterine Warbler, Red-breasted Flycatcher and Common Rosefinch. |
