| The East Coast continued to produce the goods, with a Rustic Bunting
and Radde's Warbler in Cleveland and Dusky Warblers in Norfolk and
East Yorkshire all being discovered today. The Red-flanked Bluetail
remained at Muckleburgh Hill, Norfolk and other lingering rarities included
Hume's Yellow-browed Warbler on Unst, Shetland, Siberian Stonechat in
East Yorkshire and Olive-backed Pipit at Gibraltar Point, Lincolnshire.
Notable wildfowl came in the form of a Ferruginous Duck at Chew Valley Lake, Somerset, the King Eider in Devon and Lesser Scaup in Clyde. The Kent Green Heron continued to show well and the Glossy Ibis was still in Lancashire. Nine Pallas's Warblers, at least seventeen Yellow-browed Warblers and a couple of Richard's Pipits were all seen along with approximately 1,400 Waxwings, the majority of which were in Scotland, including a flock of 400 on Isle of Skye, Highland. |
