| Today's highlights came from the Isles of Scilly where the first Red-flanked Bluetail
for the archipelago was discovered on St Mary's, a Bobolink was found on St Agnes and two
White-rumped Sandpipers arrived on Tresco. Other birds recorded around the islands today included single
Grey-cheeked Thrush, Blyth's Reed Warbler and Olive-backed Pipit
- all on St Agnes - along with totals of ten Yellow-browed Warblers, five
Grey Phalaropes, two each of Little Bunting and Red-breasted Flycatcher and single Richard's Pipit
and Pectoral Sandpiper. In County Cork a Black-browed Albatross flew past Mizen Head, an American Golden Plover was recorded at Clonakilty and a Glossy Ibis was found at Pilmore. Other single Glossy Ibises were seen briefly in London at Rainham Marshes and Staffordshire at Belvide Reservoir.
