| On the Shetland Isles a Blackpoll Warbler and a Siberian Stonechat both arrived on Fair Isle with other rarities around the archipelago comprising the
Taiga Flycatcher, two Red-flanked Bluetails, Lanceolated
Warbler, Western Bonelli's Warbler, Arctic Warbler, Spotted
Sandpiper, Siberian Stonechat, Rustic Bunting, two Bluethroats,
Barred Warbler, Richard's Pipit, Pectoral Sandpiper, Lapland Bunting, and three
Yellow-browed Warblers. Meanwhile, on the Isles of Scilly two Radde's Warblers and a Red-throated Pipit proved elusive, but were supported by a cast of a Little Bunting, Red-breasted Flycatcher, Common Rosefinch, Lapland Bunting, Balearic Shearwater, two each of both Rose-coloured Starling and Wryneck, four Spoonbills and five Yellow-browed Warblers. Elsewhere, new discoveries comprised an Eastern Olivaceous Warbler in County Mayo on Achill Island, a Paddyfield Warbler in Norfolk at Snettisham, a Red-flanked Bluetail in County Durham at Whitburn, an Arctic Warbler in Staffordshire at Newcastle-uner-Lyme, a Dusky Warbler in Lothian at Skateraw, a Lesser Yellowlegs in County Mayo on The Mullet and a Black Kite in Essex at Ramsey Marsh. Disappointingly, all of these birds were seen only briefly, and could not be relocated. More accommodating were the many lingering rarities: the Brown Shrike in Surrey, Blackpoll Warbler and Arctic Warbler in County Cork, Red-flanked Bluetail in Suffolk, Pied Wheatear in Norfolk, Long-billed Dowitchers in Cheshire (2), Lancashire (3) and the Western Isles, American Golden Plovers in both Fife and the Western Isles, White-rumped Sandpiper in Essex, King Eider in Lincolnshire, Lesser Scaup in Glamorgan, Azorean Yellow-legged Gull in Oxfordshire, Glossy Ibises in Aberdeenshire, County Kerry (9), Kent, Gloucestershire, Somerset (2) and County Wexford, Cattle Egrets in Hampshire (2) and Kent and Great White Egrets in both Kent and Suffolk. |
