Spring rarities included a Great Spotted Cuckoo in Cornwall, and a
Black-winged Stilt in County Cork. The former was in the St Just area this
afternoon, but proved very mobile. The latter was the first record for Cape
Clear Island. Less expected was the arrival of a first-winter Ross's Gull
at Lytham St Annes, Lancashire late afternoon.
Two Penduline Tits remained at Dingle Marshes RSPB, Suffolk, with the Ferruginous Duck still nearby at Trimley. Other wildfowl included King Eider in Fife, and single Lesser Scaups in Nottinghamshire and County Westmeath. The Snowy Owl was seen in Cornwall, the Bonaparte's Gull was at Cardiff, Glamorgan and the Forster's Tern made another appearance on Claddagh Beach, County Galway. |
