| The highlight of the day was a brief Rose-breasted Grosbeak at Kilbaha, County Clare. Other discoveries included a Long-billed Dowitcher in County Clare at Liscannor,
Red-throated Pipit in Devon on Lundy, Lesser Scaup in Perth and Kinross at Loch Leven,
Cattle Egret in County Cork at Bantry and a White-rumped Sandpiper on South Uist, Western Isles. On the Isles of Scilly the Grey-cheeked Thrush, Blyth's Reed Warbler and Olive-backed Pipit all remained on St Agnes with two White-rumped Sandpipers, Red-breasted Flycatcher, Spoonbill and ten each of both Yellow-browed Warbler and Grey Phalarope scattered around the archipelago. Elsewhere, lingering rarities comprised the Glossy Ibis in County Cork, King Eider in Devon, two Lesser Scaups in Clyde, Cattle Egrets in Pembrokeshire and East Sussex (4), Great White Egret in Suffolk, two Small Canada Geese in Dumfries and Galloway, Hooded Merganser in Dorset and single Ferruginous Ducks in Buckinghamshire, Hertfordshire and Somerset. Significant news from yesterday concerned the reappearance of the Little Blue Heron in Barnaderg Bag, County Galway - but it could not be located there today. |
