| The highlight of the day was the reappearance of the Black-winged Pratincole at Grove Ferry, Kent. Discovered early in the morning, the bird remained into the evening, when it strayed briefly to the adjacent Stodmarsh. New rarities comprised a Citrine Wagtail in Norfolk at Cley, a Balearic Woodchat Shrike in County Wexford at Duncormick, Greenish Warbler in East Yorkshire at Kilnsea, White-billed Diver in Aberdeenshire at Girdle Ness and a mobile Black Kite in west Cornwall. The Isles of Scilly enjoyed a busy day with a Red-throated Pipit new on St Agnes, Red-rumped Swallow on St Mary's and Woodchat Shrike on Bryher. Lingering rarities included the Franklin's Gull and Wood Duck on the Shetland Isles, White-winged Black Tern in Surrey, two Bee-eaters in Norfolk and the Great White Egret in Cleveland. Scarcities included four Temminck's Stints, two Grey-headed Wagtails, singles of Bluethroat, American Wigeon, Surf Scoter, Pectoral Sandpiper, Lapland Bunting and another Woodchat Shrike (in Somerset). |
