| The main news of the day was the confirmation of the juvenile
Little Blue Heron, now present for its twelve day, at Letterfrack, County
Galway. This is the fourth record for the Western Palearctic and, of course, the
first for Ireland.
The Scottish Isles again produced some good pipits, with a new Red-throated Pipit found on Shetland at Virkie, and the Buff-bellied Pipit on North Ronaldsay, Orkney and Pechora Pipit on North Uist, Western Isles. Also on the Western Isles, a Siberian Stonechat was seen briefly on Lewis, at Eoropaidh. Two Richardson's Canada Geese were identified at Caerlaverock WWT, Dumfries and Galloway, with another two yesterday at Loch Gruinart RSPB, Argyll. The juvenile Broad-billed Sandpiper was seen a couple of times on Wallasea Island, Essex, and a Subalpine Warbler was found this evening at Nanquidno Valley, Cornwall. Hornemann's Arctic Redpolls remained on Yell and Unst, both Shetland. Seawatching on the south coast produced good numbers of Long-tailed Skuas, along with a few Leach's Petrels and plenty more Balearic Shearwaters. |
