| Three Arctic Warblers were discovered on Shetland today, with two on
the Mainland and one on Out Skerries, one of which (at Scatness) was with a
Greenish Warbler. A Booted Warbler was further south, at Grimston,
Yorkshire, with a Great Snipe present nearby at Spurn Point. A
Semipalmated Sandpiper was discovered on the estuary at Blennerville, County
Kerry, where it joined the lingering American Herring Gull. An Aquatic
Warbler was trapped at Steart, Somerset and a Whiskered Tern was seen
briefly at Annesley, Nottinghamshire.
New American Golden Plovers were in County Cork, Argyll and on the Western Isles, and there was a significant arrival of Ortolan Buntings in the south-west, including at least five together at Nanquidno, Cornwall and singles at Polgigga, Cornwall, on Bryher, Isles of Scilly, on Bardsey Island, Gwynedd and at Galley Head, County Cork. Lingering rarity highlights included House Finch in Devon, Citrine Wagtails on Scilly and in Cornwall, Snowy Owl in County Mayo, Semipalmated Sandpiper in Lothian and Whiskered Tern in Leicestershire. Scarcity totals included 13 Common Rosefinches, c27 Wrynecks, seven Melodious Warblers, five Icterine Warblers, c25 Barred Warblers, Marsh Warbler, Bluethroat, Woodchat Shrike, six Red-backed Shrikes and a Short-toed Lark. |
