| Two American Buff-bellied Pipits were discovered today, at opposite
ends of the country. The first record for Orkney was located on North Ronaldsay,
with another bird on Bryher, Scilly. Other rare passerines included two new
Hornemann's Arctic Redpolls, in County Mayo, Ireland and on Yell, Shetland,
with others on Foula and Unst, both Shetland.
Seabird records include reports of Fea's Petrels past Pendeen Watch and St Ives Island, Cornwall, whilst strong north-westerly winds along the east coast produced a couple of Cory's Shearwaters, several Long-tailed Skuas, good numbers of Pomarine Skuas, and a few Leach's Petrels, Storm Petrels, Sabine's Gulls and Balearic Shearwaters. The Leach's Petrel passage continued in the north-west, with around 150 birds seen. The Glossy Ibis remained on the Ouse Washes, Cambridgeshire all day, before roosting again at Fen Drayton Gravel Pits. The Siberian Stonechat was still at Bere Regis, Dorset, the Red-footed Falcon was at Tophill Low, Yorkshire and another Baird's Sandpiper was found in County Kerry at Derrymore Strand. |
