| Rarities today comprised a Black Stork in Cornwall at Landulph, a Long-billed Dowitcher in Dumfries and Galloway at Caerlaverock, a
Red-rumped Swallow in Kent at Samphire Hoe, a Tawny Pipit in Norfolk at Waxham, and in Cleveland a Black-headed Wagtail (or similar hybrid) at Saltholme - but all but the last bird were nothing more than brief encounters. Scarce migrants included Short-toed Lark (Isle of Scilly), White-spotted Bluethroat and Kentish Plover (Norfolk), Rose-coloured Starling (Pembrokeshire), Serin (Suffolk), Purple Heron (Kent), Ring-necked Duck (Orkney Isles), Spotted Crake (Staffordshire), Ring-billed Gull (Cornwall), Temminck's Stint (Lincolnshire), six Dotterels, three each of both Woodchat Shrike and Hoopoe and two each of Wryneck, Montagu's Harrier and Green-winged Teal. In Cornwall a black-and-white wagtail thought probably to be the first Moroccan Wagtail Motacilla alba subpersonata, for the British Isles was present during the morning near Sennen, Cornwall but it soon flew off and was not reported again. |
