| Hot news related to a singing River Warbler at Thorpe-next-Haddiscoe
in Norfolk, present for its third day. The last truly twitchable River Warbler
to be discovered in England occurred in 1996, so despite several records from
northern Scotland as well as one or two one-day-wonders further south in recent
years, this bird will be a popular attraction if it continues to linger.
Elsewhere, in Devon the House Finch and Gull-billed Tern both remained on show, the Little Bittern was still in Somerset, a Ferruginous Duck lingered at Minsmere RSPB and the Blue-winged Teal reappeared in Cambridgeshire. In Ireland a Bonaparte's Gull was still in Co Kerry and the long-staying Glossy Ibis lingered in Co Wexford. The best of the rest included Buff-breasted Sandpiper (Norfolk), Great White Egret (Somerset) and two Surf Scoters (Aberdeenshire). |
