| Three new rarities were reported today: a Black Kite flew over
Ipplepen, near Newton Abbot, in Devon and there were Alpine Swifts at two
new locations: at Folkestone in Kent; and briefly at Rainham Marshes in London.
Another Alpine Swift remained at Chafford Hundred in Essex, and in
Suffolk the Pallid Swift spent another day in the Kessingland sewage
works area. The Iberian Chiffchaff was again singing at Stiffkey in
Norfolk. A Rose-coloured Starling was found in Weymouth this afternoon.
Other lingering rarities included Lesser Scaups still at Cardiff Bay and Eglwys Nunydd Reservoir in Glamorgan, and the Bonaparte's Gull at Cardiff, also in Glamorgan. The Little Bunting remained in Highland and the King Eider could still be found in Moray. In south east Scotland the Bluethroat was again at Skateraw, with the Hoopoe still nearby at Dunglass, whilst in Cornwall the Woodchat Shrike was still on The Lizard. Of winter birds there were still up to 16 Shorelarks at Holkham and Waxwings could still be found in Yorkshire and Suffolk. |
