| A White's Thrush in Aberdeenshire, present for its second day, was
bird of the day. It remained very elusive, but was seen a few times this
afternoon, after access was arranged for the Parkhill Estate, Dyce. There will,
however, be no further access to this site.
Negative news from both Yorkshire and Wirral, where there was no sign of either the Amur Falcon or the probable Snowy Egret. New rarities included another Hornemann's Arctic Redpoll on Shetland, at Isbister, a Siberian Stonechat nearby at Collafirth, and a Great White Egret and four Cattle Egrets in County Cork and Sussex respectively. On Scilly, both the Sociable Plover and the Grey-cheeked Thrush remained in-situ, and the King Eider continued to show well in Devon, at Appledore. Ferruginous Ducks remained in Somerset and Hertfordshire, the Glossy Ibis was seen at Swillington Ings, Yorkshire with American Golden Plover again in Cornwall and White-billed Diver on Orkney. |
