| A White's Thrush was present on Fair Isle, Shetland briefly, and a
Western Bonelli's Warbler was at Bigton, Mainland. Further south, a
Subalpine Warbler was on Bardsey Island, Gwynedd, a Red-throated Pipit
on the Isles of Scilly, two Arctic Redpolls and an American Golden
Plover on the Western Isles and a Glossy Ibis in Suffolk. A
Bonelli's warbler species was seen, and heard, briefly on St Mary's, Isles
of Scilly.
Late news from yesterday concerned a Little Shearwater in Highland, Paddyfield Warbler on the Isles of Scilly and an Olive-backed Pipit on the Western Isles. The floodgates were well and truly opened on the east coast today, headlined by five Radde's Warblers from Northumberland to Kent, along with four Red-breasted Flycatchers, Short-toed Lark, Corncrake, Red-backed Shrike, two Barred Warblers and two Shorelarks. At least 92 Yellow-browed Warblers were seen around the country, with the vast majority on the east and south coasts. Lingering rarities included single Long-billed Dowitchers in Cheshire and on the Isles of Scilly, River Warbler, Hornemann's Arctic Redpoll, Olive-backed Pipit and Arctic Warbler on Shetland (with another of the latter in County Cork), Azorean Yellow-legged Gull in Oxfordshire, White-rumped Sandpiper in Essex, Lesser Scaup in Warwickshire, Snowy Owl in County Mayo, Blue-winged Teal in Cleveland and at least eleven Glossy Ibises at seven sites. |
