| Another very busy day, for November, with some excellent birds lingering. The
first-winter Steppe Grey Shrike in Lincolnshire continued to give superb
views at Grainthorpe, becoming one of the few mega's this year to stay for the
whole weekend. Nearby, the Desert Wheatear was present all day at
Saltfleet, with others in Kent, Northumberland and Suffolk. A three wheatear day
was completed with the Pied Wheatear in North Yorkshire, and late
Northern Wheatears in Suffolk and Hampshire.
The Two-barred Crossbill again visited the feeders at Garfitts Farm, North Yorkshire, and the Red-flanked Bluetail was relocated on Holy Island, Northumberland. A Hume's Yellow-browed Warbler was in Aberdeenshire and two were in Northumberland. The long staying Green Heron was still present at Hythe, Kent, with other lingering rarities consisting of Glossy Ibis in Lancashire, Red-breasted Goose in Hampshire, Long-billed Dowitcher in County Louth, Great White Egrets in Leicestershire and Greater Manchester, Cattle Egrets in Oxfordshire, Somerset and Cambridgeshire, Lesser Scaups in Cornwall and Clyde, King Eider in Devon and a Rustic Bunting on Shetland. |
