| Once again, Asian passerines dominated the headlines with Red-flanked Bluetail and
Dusky Warbler together in Norfolk at Weybourne, Radde's Warbler in Cleveland at South Gare,
Desert Wheatear in Suffolk at Easton Bavents, Siberian Stonechat in East Yorkshire at Easington and single
Dusky Warblers in Suffolk at Bawdsey and in East Yorkshire at both Flamborough Head and Spurn. Related scarce migrants comprised eleven
Yellow-browed Warblers, six Pallas's Warblers and singles of Bluethroat,
Red-breasted Flycatcher and Richard's Pipit. Elsewhere, a Grey-cheeked Thrush was a new discovery on Bryher, Isles of Scilly, as were an American Golden Plover and a Black-bellied Dipper in Lincolnshire and a brief Great White Egret in Norfolk. Lingering rarities comprised the Green Heron in Kent, Hooded Merganser in Fife, Lesser Scaup in Clyde, Glossy Ibis in Lancashire, Ferruginous Duck in Buckinghamshire and Great White Egret in Greater Manchester. |
