| The undoubted highlight today was an obliging male White-throated Sparrow,
present for its second day in a garden in Boscastle, Cornwall. Also headlining
was an arrival of Red-rumped Swallows, including birds at Wilstone
Reservoir, Hertfordshire, Ferry Meadows Country Park, Cambridgeshire, Rainham
Marshes RSPB, London, Brading Marshes RSPB, Isle of Wight and, lastly, a group
of four birds at Loompit Lake, Suffolk, this evening.
Other new rarities today included a Blue-winged Teal in Yorkshire, single Subalpine Warblers in County Cork and Shetland, an Alpine Swift in Lancashire, White-billed Divers in Shetland and Moray (2) and an American Golden Plover in London. The Pacific Diver reappeared off Finvarra Point, County Clare, whilst the wide ranging Black Stork was seen again in Devon. Lingering rarities included Iberian Chiffchaff in Kent, Hornemann's Arctic Redpoll in County Cork, Snowy Owl on Shetland and King Eider in Aberdeenshire. A good scattering of scarce spring migrants included good numbers of Dotterels and Temminck's Stints. |
