| As the easterly winds continued the good passage of scarce migrants brought
in a few rarities. A Collared Pratincole was found in Norfolk this
evening, with the Black-winged Pratincole remaining in Kent. A Rustic
Bunting was seen on Shetland, and a Red-throated Pipit was on the
Farne Islands, Northumberland.
Other new rarities included a Black Kite in Norfolk, White-billed Diver in Argyll and a Great White Egret in Northamptonshire. Lingerers included Great Reed Warbler and at least two Red-rumped Swallows on the Isles of Scilly, Balearic Woodchat Shrike in County Wexford and Ferruginous Duck in Somerset. Good numbers of Bluethroats and Icterine Warblers arrived on the east coast and on the Northern Isles, along with smaller numbers of Temminck's Stint, Hoopoe, Grey-headed Wagtail and Golden Oriole. |
