Tuesday 24th August 2010  
  Late August seawatching at Bridges of Ross (Co Clare) once again produced the goods - a Fea's Petrel was logged this morning (along with a report of a Wilson's Petrel). Nearby an adult American Golden Plover was at Poulnasherry Bay.

Lingering rarities included Ortolan Bunting (East Yorkshire), Semipalmated Sandpipers (Devon and Lincolnshire), Whiskered Tern (Cleveland), Broad-billed Sandpiper (Essex) and Snowy Owl (Co Mayo).

Scarcities came in the form of four Great White Egrets, three Spotted Crakes, two each of Dotterel, Pectoral Sandpiper and Barred Warbler and single Buff-breasted Sandpiper, Red-backed Shrike and Melodious Warbler.
