| The first big movement of autumn migrants occurred today, with, predictably,
the east coast faring the best. The headline bird was a Thrush Nightingale
on the Farne Islands, Northumberland, followed closely by an Ortolan Bunting
at Flamborough Head, Yorkshire and a Greenish Warbler at Wells, Norfolk.
Further north, an Arctic Warbler was on Fair Isle, Shetland.
A Blue-winged Teal was at Fen Drayton Lakes RSPB, Cambridgeshire this evening, and a Glossy Ibis was seen briefly at Keyhaven, Hampshire. Lingering rarities included Whiskered Tern in Cleveland and Glossy Ibis in County Wexford. Scarcities included at least four Icterine Warblers, three Red-backed Shrikes, two Barred Warblers, five Wrynecks, a Purple Heron and a Spotted Crake. |
