| The main news of the day was the continued presence of the Sandhill Crane
on South Ronaldsay in the Orkney Islands, much to the delight of all those that
made the long journey north.
In Somerset a Long-billed Dowitcher was found at Chew Valley Lake, whilst in Cleveland a drake Blue-winged Teal was found at Haverton but unfortunately it was in an area with no general access. Eleven Glossy Ibises were seen in southern England today, with a new sighting in Lincolnshire, plus birds remaining in Kent, Sussex, Norfolk and Suffolk. New Great White Egrets were found in Flintshire, Northamptonshire and Lancashire, with others remaining in Somerset and Cumbria. A new American Golden Plover was in County Mayo, whilst birds remained on Mainland Orkney and in County Waterford. Other remaining rarities included the Long-billed Dowitcher on Tresco, Scilly, the Lesser Yellowlegs at Aberlady Bay in Lothian, White-rumped Sandpipers at Abberton Reservoir in Essex and Black Rock Strand in County Kerry and the Blue-winged Teal in County Dublin Ortolan Buntings were on St.Martin's in the Scillies, at Corton in Suffolk and briefly at Christchurch in Dorset. A Tawny Pipit was seen briefly at Durlston Head in Dorset. Seven Pectoral Sandpipers were reported. |
