Glossy Ibis in Dorset, the Laughing Gull in County Antrim and a
Ferruginous Duck in Suffolk. Scarcities included three Great White Egrets, two Cattle Egrets, a Buff-breasted Sandpiper (Norfolk), Spotted Crake (Kent), Ring-necked Duck (Fife) and Caspian Gull (Nottinghamshire). Seawatching highlights included single Long-tailed Skuas off each of East Yorkshire, County Durham and Northumberland, a Cory's Shearwater passing Norfolk and two Sabine's Gulls seen from County Mayo. Scarce drift migrants comprised an Icterine Warbler in Norfolk and a Wryneck in Cleveland. Significant late news from Ireland concerned a Wilson's Petrel seen yesterday off County Galway and an Azorean Yellow-legged Gull present last Sunday in County Kerry at Bennerville. |
