| A very exciting day for bird news with lots
of action on the east coast as one would expect in these conditions.
Highlights include a Pallas's Grasshopper Warbler, trapped and ringed at Spurn, Yorkshire, which was seen a few times after release, a Thrush Nightingale trapped at Holme, Norfolk and a Citrine Wagtail at Rattray Head, Aberdeenshire, whilst Shetland produced Arctic Warbler, Lanceolated Warbler, Two-barred Crossbill and Yellow-breasted Bunting. The Greater Sand Plover remained at Ythan Estuary, Aberdeenshire, and the Western Sandpiper was seen again in County Galway, Ireland. A juvenile Stilt Sandpiper was found on South Uist, Western Isles this afternoon. A Western Bonelli's Warbler was present on Lundy, Devon, this evening, a Fea's Petrel flew past Carnsore Point and Hook Head, County Wexford and a Red-footed Falcon was at Tophill Low NR, Yorkshire. As yesterday, however, perhaps the most memorable event of the day was the continued passage of Honey Buzzards throughout eastern England, with a few birds in east Scotland, and a small number on the south coast. They started to filter inland, also, with birds being seen as far west as the West Midlands. With scores being reported, it is difficult to estimate numbers, as there will have been duplication of records. |
