| Cley in north Norfolk was the centre of attention today with the discovery of
an adult summer White-winged Black Tern which frequented the NWT reserve
during the afternoon and early evening. Also at Cley, the Buff-breasted
Sandpiper re-appeared in the evening following its absence during the day,
when what was presumably the same bird put in a brief appearance at Titchwell
RSPB. Six Spoonbills were also at Cley. In Kent a probable American
Golden Plover was seen briefly at Cliffe Pools and in Dorset, a Black
Kite flew over near Stoborough.
Lingering rarities included the singing River Warbler in Highland, the Little Bittern in Somerset and the Great White Egret on Mainland Orkney. There was a belated record of two Bee-eaters on Friday near Melverley in Shropshire. Of commoner birds, Quails are currently featuring heavily, particularly in the north. |
