| The highlight of the day was the discovery of an Eastern Olivaceous Warbler at Flamborough Head, East Yorkshire.
Found during the morning and present until late in the evening, this popular rarity represents the eighteenth record of the species in Britain and Ireland and the first ever in Northern England; an earlier record of this species from Flamborough Head (on 22nd October 1976) is no longer accepted. Elsewhere, a
Citrine Wagtail was located in the Isles of Scilly on St Agnes, and an Aquatic Warbler was found at Slimbridge, Gloucestershire. Lingering rarities confirmed as still present comprised the Whiskered Tern in Leicestershire, the Semiplamated Sandpiper in Lothian, Greenish Warbler in Northumberland, Ferruginous Duck in Somerset, Glossy Ibis in County Wexford, single American Golden Plovers in both County Clare and the Orkney Isles, and in East Yorkshire the probable Collared Flycatcher remained at Spurn. Scarce migrants included a total of 199 Lapland Buntings spread across eleven counties (including 123 on the Western Isles alone), seven Wrynecks, six Barred Warblers, five Icterine Warblers, four Red-backed Shrikes, three Meldoious Warblers and single Woodchat Shrike, Common Rosefinch and Hoopoe. |
