| The highlight of the day was the discovery of a Stilt Sandpiper at Campfield Marsh, Cumbria, the first county record. On the Shetland Isles a
Thrush Nightingale was found at Pool of Virkie and in Somerset a Ferruginous Duck was located at Barrow Gurney. Lingering rarities included the Hudsonian Whimbrel on the Isles of Scilly, Baird's Sandpiper in County Cork, Red-footed Falcon in East Yorkshire, Great White Egret in Suffolk and three Cattle Egrets in Somerset. The White-billed Diver remained on the Orkney Isles but the Cretzschmar's Bunting could not be found on North Ronaldsay. Scarce migrant landbirds comprised ten Wrynecks, nine Yellow-browed Warblers, seven Red-backed Shrikes, two each of Melodious Warbler, Rose-coloured Starling, Red-breasted Flycatcher and Barred Warbler as well as single Tawny Pipit, Short-toed Lark and Hoopoe. Significant news received from yesterday concerned a brief Crag Martin at Beeding Hill, West Sussex and at least fourteen Wilson's Petrels seen from a pelagic off County Kerry. |
