| The highlight of the day was a lingering Red-rumped Swallow on the Orkney Isles on South Ronaldsay. Elsewhere, the newly discovered rarities chose not to linger:
White-billed Diver in Aberdeenshire, Red-footed Falcon in Norfolk and single Black Kites in both Hampshire and West Sussex were seen only by their finders. On the Western Isles the elusive Black Stork showed again, whilst other lingering rarities comprised the Forster's Tern still in County Wexford, Wilson's Phalarope in Merseyside, Broad-billed Sandpiper in Aberdeenshire, Great Reed Warbler in Derbyshire and territorial Iberian Chiffchaffs in each of Gwent, Kent and South Yorkshire. Scarcities included 19 Temminck's Stints spread across ten counties, four migrant Golden Orioles, three Purple Herons, two each of Common Rosefinch and White-winged Black Tern (the latter together in Leicestershire) and single Serin (Leicestershire), Bluethroat (Wirral), Icterine Warbler (East Yorkshire), Marsh Warbler and Great White Egret (both Suffolk), Red-backed Shrike (County Durham), Hoopoe (West Sussex), Long-tailed Skua (Highland), Pectoral Sandpiper (Aberdeenshire) and Glaucous Gull (County Wicklow). |
