| Another day, another White-tailed Plover Mega Alert - this time the
wandering Vanellus had relocated to Dungeness RSPB (Kent), 156 miles
east-southeast of Slimbridge WWT, where it was last reported at 1550 yesterday.
Elsewhere an Alpine Swift flew south over Spurn (East Yorkshire) whilst Ireland produced both a Semipalmated Sandpiper (at Ring Marsh, Co Wexford) and Terek Sandpiper (at Blennerville, Co Kerry). In Pembrokeshire a Fea's Petrel was seen at sea between Ramsey and Grassholm Islands this evening. Lingering rarities included the immature drake King Eider at Filey (North Yorkshire), Gull-billed Tern on the Exe Estuary (Devon), Little Bittern at Walton Heath (Somerset), Laughing Gull in Co Antrim and in Norfolk the River Warbler showed well during the final organised viewing at the site with no general access at Thorpe-next-Haddiscoe. Dick Filby's task of organising the River Warbler twitch relied heavily on the enthusiastic support of the landowners and the volunteers without whom this twitch would not have happened. He extends heartfelt thanks to all involved. Titchwell continued to host both Buff-breasted and Pectoral Sandpipers. In Ayrshire a possible Bulwer's Petrel was reported flying south past Turnberry Point early this afternoon. |
