| Bird of the day was a Snowy Owl on Isles of Scilly, the fifth record
for the archipelago, and the first since 1972. Elsewhere on the islands the
Grey-cheeked Thrush remained, as did the Blyth's Reed Warbler and a
White-rumped Sandpiper. Nearby, the first Paddyfield Warbler for
Devon was trapped and ringed on Lundy.
In the Northern Isles, both King Eiders and White-billed Divers were found on Shetland, with large numbers of Grey Phalaropes still present, mainly on Orkney. A White-billed Diver was also seen in Yorkshire, whilst on the Western Isles a juvenile White-rumped Sandpiper was found on South Uist. A new American Golden Plover was found in Cambridgeshire, with yesterday's juvenile still present at East Harling, Norfolk. Lingering rarities included the Green Heron in Kent, Lesser Scaup in Nottinghamshire, Great White Egret in Greater Manchester, King Eider in Devon and Ferruginous Duck in Buckinghamshire. |
