The highlight of the day was the discovery of a White-tailed Plover in London at Rainham Marshes: first noted late morning the bird remained until dusk. The fifth or sixth British record, and perhaps the same individual as was present during the spring at Seaforth, Merseyside on 27th-28th May and at Bloemendaal, Nord-Holland, Netherlands on 29th May. Elsewhere, a Laughing Gull was found in County Antrim at Ballycastle, the elusive River Warbler remained at Thorpe Marshes, Norfolk as did both the House Finch and Gull-billed Tern in Devon, the Little Bittern in Somerset and the Ferruginous Duck in Suffolk. Scarcities included a Buff-breasted Sandpiper in Norfolk, three Surf Scoters together in Aberdeenshire, two Purple Herons together in Kent, Temminck's Stint in East Yorkshire, Ring-necked Duck in Fife and single Great White Egrets in Kent, Northumberland and Somerset. |
