| The highlight of a busy day was a Hume's Yellow-browed Warbler in East Yorkshire at Kilnsea; it had initially found yesterday and thought to be a Greenish Warbler. Elsewhere, a Subalpine Warbler showed well in Kent at Dungeness, a
White-billed Diver was in County Galway off Inishbofin, a White-winged Black Tern was in Warwickshire at Draycote Water and, on the Isles of Scilly, a
Great Reed Warbler and three Red-rumped Swallows were on St Mary's. Brief encounters included a
Blyth's Reed Warbler in Norfolk, Alpine Swift and two Red-rumped Swallows in Dorset, Black Kite in Cornwall and single Great White Egrets in both Gloucestershire and West Sussex. Lingering rarities comprised the Black-winged Pratincole still in Kent, Citrine Wagtail in Norfolk, Red-throated Pipit on the Isles of Scilly, Balearic Woodchat Shrike in County Wexford, Lesser Scaup on the Shetland Isles and White-winged Black Tern in Surrey. Scarcities comprised 18 Temminck's Stints, seven migrant Golden Orioles, four each of Icterine Warbler and Kentish Plover, three Bluethroats, two Grey-headed Wagtails and singles of Melodious Warbler, Short-toed Lark, Rough-legged Buzzard, Hoopoe, Green-winged Teal, Pectoral Sandpiper and Lapland Bunting. A major arrival of Black Terns was witnessed in southeastern England with 900 reported from 35 counties including maxima of 239 in Norfolk, 130 in Cambridgeshire, 54 in Suffolk, 45 in Lincolnshire and 34 in Hertfordshire. |
