| Confirmation that the Red-flanked Bluetail at Spurn Point, East
Yorkshire, yesterday was a 2nd bird in the area came today when it was trapped
and ringed this evening, after being present all day, although it continued to
be very elusive. Another Red-flanked Bluetail remained at Minsmere RSPB,
Suffolk, where a Glossy Ibis and a Great White Egret were also
present. Other Glossy Ibises were in Warwickshire, Derbyshire, Kent (3),
Aberdeenshire and County Wexford.
In Kent, the Fan-tailed Warbler made another of its very erratic appearances at Pegwell Bay. Other lingering rarities included the Brown Shrike in Surrey, Western Bonelli's Warbler and Spotted Sandpiper on Shetland, King Eider in Lincolnshire, American Buff-bellied Pipit in County Clare and Blackpoll Warbler and Arctic Warbler in County Cork. A presumed Fea's Petrel flew past St John's Point, County Down (the third record for both county and site), a Hornemann's Arctic Redpoll was at Brae, Shetland, a Citrine Wagtail was on North Ronaldsay, Orkney and two American Golden Plovers were at Rahasane Turlough, County Galway. Late news concerned a Bee-eater yesterday in Suffolk, and the Booted Warbler in Cornwall on the 13th and 14th October has reportedly been reindentified as a Sykes's Warbler, which would be the 11th record for Britain. |
