| Although the Red-necked Stint could not be located in Dorset, lingering rarities confirmed as still present elsewhere comprised the
Semipalmated Sandpiper in Lothian, the House Finch in Devon, American Herring Gull
in County Kerry, American Golden Plover in County Clare, Black Kite in Cornwall and
Glossy Ibises in both County Clare (2) and County Dublin (2). The Long-billed Dowitcher from Cheshire was relocated in Flintshire and a
Red-rumped Swallow was a brief encounter in Perth and Kinross. Scarcities were headlined by a count of 78 Lapland Buntings across ten counties (including 42 together on the Orkney Isles), six Barred Warblers, five Icterine Warblers, four Pectoral Sandpipers, three Surf Scoters (together in Aberdeenshire), two each of Kentish Plover, Red-backed Shrike and Wryneck, and single Ortolan Bunting (Suffolk), Melodious Warbler (Kent), Marsh Warbler (Lincolnshire), Common Rosefinch (Northumberland), Purple Heron (Dorset), Red-necked Phalarope (Essex), Hoopoe (West Sussex), Spotted Crake (County Durham), Cattle Egret (Devon) and, in Norfolk, Greenish Warbler, Short-toed Lark and Bluethroat. Seawatching highlights included a Wilson's Petrel and Cory's Shearwater passing County Donegal, Long-tailed Skuas off Conwy, Devon and County Mayo, Sabine's Gulls in Ayrshire and County Clare (2) and 52 Balearic Shearwaters noted across five counties. |
