| The Eyebrowed Thrush was again on North Ronaldsay but it proved mobile
and, for those that travelled to see it, somewhat difficult to connect with.
There was also a Hornemann's Arctic Redpoll on the island. On the
Shetlands, there was a new Arctic Warbler on the Out Skerries and an
Olive-backed Pipit was found at Quendale on Mainland, although there was no
sign today of the Taiga Flycatcher on Fetlar nor of the Veery on Whalsay.
Elsewhere on the Shetlands Pechora Pipits remained on the Out Skerries
and north Mainland, there were Hornemann's Arctic Redpolls on Out
Skerries and Mainland, an Arctic Warbler on Mainland, with other notable
birds around the islands including Common Rosefinches, Little Buntings,
Bluethroats, Yellow-browed Warblers and a drake Surf Scoter.
The Steppe Grey Shrike remained at Lound in Nottinghamshire and the American Buff-bellied Pipit was still to be found at Clahane Strand in County Clare. Glossy Ibises were in Suffolk, Somerset, Cambridgeshire and County Wexford. The Lesser Scaup remained at Draycote Water in Warwickshire and White-rumped Sandpipers were again in Aberdeenshire and Essex. There was a possible Red-rumped Swallow on St.Mary's in The Scillies, and despite it being 'quiet' at present, the islands still offered visitors a Long-billed Dowitcher, a Rose-coloured Starling, a Common Rosefinch, a Dotterel, a Pectoral Sandpiper, a Wryneck and two Red-breasted Flycatchers. |
