| New arrivals today were headlined by a Hudsonian Whimbrel on South
Uist, Western Isles, joining a Long-billed Dowitcher, American Golden
Plover, Baird's Sandpiper and a Buff-breasted Sandpiper on the
same island, with a male Snowy Owl nearby on Lewis. Another Snowy Owl was
seen on Tory Island, County Donegal, whilst passerine rarities in the east
included a Booted Warbler at Spurn, East Yorkshire (with another
remaining on Shetland), and a Greenish Warbler in Scarborough, North
Yorkshire.
A White-rumped Sandpiper was present at Abberton Reservoir, Essex, and a Gyr Falcon was seen in Cleveland. Lingering rarities included 15 Glossy Ibises, a King Eider, a Lesser Yellowlegs, a Ferruginous Duck and a Black Kite, with a good scattering of scarce migrants, mainly on the east coast. |
