| Today's highlights came from the Shetland Isles where an Eastern Olivaceous Warbler
was found on Foula and, on Fair Isle, a Pallas's Grasshopper Warbler, two
Lanceolated Warblers and a Red-throated Pipit were discovered. Elsewhere, a Long-billed Dowitcher
arrived in County Clare, a Ferruginous Duck in Buckinghamshire, a Red-footed Falcon
in Dumfries and Galloway and a Lesser Scaup in Perth and Kinross. The Stilt Sandpiper remained in Cumbria as did the Hudsonian Whimbrel on the Isles of Scilly, White-billed Diver on the Orkney Isles, Glossy Ibis in West Yorkshire, Red-footed Falcon in East Yorkshire and single Great White Egrets in both Hampshire and Suffolk. Scarce migrants comprised 21 Yellow-browed Warblers, four Red-breasted Flycatchers, three Barred Warblers, two each of Rose-coloured Starling, Richard's Pipit, Wryneck and Lapland Bunting and single Tawny Pipit, Melodious Warbler, Marsh Warbler and Red-backed Shrike. Seawatching was rewarding between East Yorkshire and Kent with a few Long-tailed Skuas, Sabine's Gulls and Leach's Petrels and exceptional numbers of Great Skuas, including county maximums of 328 in Norfolk and 267 in Kent. |
