| Newly discovered rarities were headlined by a Lesser Grey Shrike in Essex at Rettendon, a brief
Blue-winged Teal in County Galway on Inishmore and a Cattle Egret at Stithians Reservoir, Cornwall. On the Isles of Scilly the Blackpoll Warbler and two Red-eyed Vireos remained alongside American Golden Plover, Short-toed Lark, Richard's Pipit, Wryneck and six Yellow-browed Warblers. Elsewhere, disappointingly the Alder Flycatcher had gone from Nanjizal, Cornwall but the Little Blue Heron and Long-billed Dowitcher were still in County Galway as was the Scarlet Tanager in County Cork, King Eider in Devon, single Glossy Ibises in both Cambridgeshire and West Yorkshire, American Golden Plover on the Western Isles, Lesser Scaup in Berkshire, Red-footed Falcon in East Yorkshire, Great White Egret in Suffolk and Hooded Merganser in Dorset. Scarce migrant landbirds comprised single Tawny Pipit, Little Bunting, Red-breasted Flycatcher, Marsh Warbler, Great Grey Shrike, Wryneck, Lapland Bunting, two each of Rose-coloured Starling and Richard's Pipit and 18 Yellow-browed Warblers. |
