| A Citrine Wagtail and at least one Ortolan Bunting were found
near Nanquidno in Cornwall this morning. Elsewhere a second Ortolan Bunting
was found at Mizen Head in County Cork which joined an impressive list of birds
at this site including Woodchat Shrike, Icterine Warbler,
Barred Warbler and Wryneck. A drake Ferruginous Duck was at
Pitsford Reservoir in Northamptonshire and a new Glossy Ibis was at Lough
Atedaun in County Clare in addition to four others present in Ireland: two at
Shannon in County Clare, one in County Dublin and one in County Wexford.
In East Yorkshire the Eastern Olivaceous Warbler remained at Flamborough, although it proved very elusive this afternoon. In Leicestershire, the Whiskered Tern was still to be found at Rutland Water, and in County Durham the Bonaparte's Gull moved to Seaham for a while. Two Greenish Warblers were still in the north east this morning but could not be found this afternoon. Other lingering rarities included American Golden Plovers in Orkney and County Clare and the Long-billed Dowitcher in Flintshire. Scarcities included 15 Wrynecks, 12 Barred Warblers, 6.Icterine Warblers, 3 Spotted Crakes and 3 Red-necked Phalaropes. A movement of Common Buzzards along the east coast included a record 70 over Spurn. |
