| Surprise of the day was perhaps the Squacco Heron in Yorkshire, which
spent the day on the patio in a garden on Beacon Lane, Kilnsea, and the earliest
ever Swainson's Thrush for Britain was found on Fair Isle, Shetland this
afternoon. More predictably, an Ortolan Bunting was at The Oa RSPB,
Argyll, a Greenish Warbler was at Higher Moors, Isles of Scilly and a
Fea's Petrel flew past Kilcummin Head, County Mayo.
Seawatching in the North-west was undoubtedly the talking point of the day, however, with estimated totals being 14 Long-tailed Skuas, five Pomarine Skuas, 28 Sabine's Gulls, eight Grey Phalaropes and 75 Balearic Shearwaters. Nearly 1,200 Leach's Petrels were reported along the west coast of Scotland down to the west coast of Wales, although some of these birds will undoubtedly have been counted twice or more. Lingering rarities included the House Crow in County Cork, King Eider in Suffolk, Spotted Sandpiper on Scilly, Wilson's Phalarope in Lincolnshire, Western Bonelli's Warbler on Shetland, Arctic Warbler in Norfolk, American Herring Gull in County Kerry, Semipalmated Sandpiper in Lothian and Whiskered Tern in Leicestershire. 19 Glossy Ibises remained, with 16 at Dungeness, Kent and three in Devon. |
