| New discoveries today include single Wilson's Phalaropes on the Hayle
Estuary, Cornwall and at Ventry, County Kerry, single Arctic Warblers at
Holme, Norfolk and Dursey Sound, County Cork, Ortolan Bunting at Kelling,
Norfolk, Citrine Wagtail on Unst, Shetland, American Golden Plover
on South Uist, Western Isles and single Greenish Warblers at Thorpeness,
Suffolk and Saltfleet Haven, Lincolnshire.
The Brown Flycatcher was glimpsed at Buckton, Yorkshire early morning, but eluded most observers for the rest of the day. A Red-breasted Flycatcher in the car park was little consolation. Six Ortolan Buntings remain at Nanquidno, Cornwall, as does the Citrine Wagtail, with other lingering rarities including American Herring Gull in County Kerry, single Semipalmated Sandpipers in County Kerry and Lothian, Greenish Warbler and Ortolan Bunting in County Cork, Glossy Ibis in County Clare and single American Golden Plovers on Orkney and the Western Isles. |
