| An adult Semipalmated Sandpiper was present at Port Carlisle (Cumbria)
for its third day. In Co Wexford an adult White-rumped Sandpiper was
discovered at Tacumshin, where the long-staying Glossy Ibis and a
Montagu's Harrier also lingered.
Elsewhere lingering rarities included Whiskered Tern in Cleveland, American Herring Gull in Co Kerry, House Finch in Devon and Franklin's Gull in Staffordshire. The best of the rest came in the form of a Cattle Egret in London, Great White Egrets in Somerset and Kent, Purple Heron in Kent, two Ring-necked Ducks in Fife, Surf Scoter in Angus, Pectoral Sandpiper in Cornwall and Spotted Crake in Hampshire. A Grey-headed Purple Gallinule in Flintshire was in a ditch in Saltney (Flintshire), where it had been present for the past three weeks. Previous British records have all been regarded as escapes from captivity and it seems unlikely that this individual will be taken seriously as a potential addition to Category A of The British List. |
