| An unprecedented arrival of Whiskered Terns into Derbyshire today. A
flock of 11 were found at Willington GPs at 12.45pm, remaining into the evening.
The previous largest group in Britain was the four in 2005 that were seen in
Yorkshire, Cheshire and Staffordshire, and there are six records of two birds.
An adult male Red-footed Falcon was watched for a few minutes over Kelling Heath, Norfolk, and an Alpine Swift was watched for a similar length of time over Meare Heath, Somerset. A Red-rumped Swallow was seen to fly south past both Horsey and Winterton, Norfolk, mid morning. Very few other rarities were seen today: the Ferruginous Duck remained at Chew Valley Lake, Somerset, two Cattle Egrets were on Plex Moss, Lancashire, and another was near Land's End, Cornwall. |
