| The highlight of the day was the discovery of a Hornemann's Arctic Redpoll
on the Farne Islands, Northumberland, whilst another remained in the Orkney Isles, as did the
House Crow in County Cork, Whiskered Tern in Cheshire, Baird's Sandpiper and
Wilson's Phalarope together in County Wexford, Wilson's Phalarope in County Wicklow,
Spotted Sandpipers in both Devon and the Isles of Scilly, Long-billed Dowitcher
in Flintshire, King Eider in Suffolk, three Ferruginous Ducks together in Somerset,
Ross's Geese in Dumfriesshire and Lothian (2) and six Glossy Ibises spread
across four counties. A Lesser Scaup was identified in Warwickshire at Draycote Water. On the Shetland Isles both the American Buff-bellied Pipit and Hornemann's Arctic Redpoll remained on Fair Isle with a supporting cast around the archipelago of two Arctic Warblers, Little Bunting, Buff-breasted Sandpiper, Pectoral Sandpiper, two Barred Warblers, two Common Rosefinches, 125 Lapland Buntings, seven Greenland Redpolls and a Grey-headed Wagtail. Seawatching from North Sea coasts proved productive with maxima comprising 10 Long-tailed Skuas (East Yorkshire), two Sabine's Gulls (Kent, Lincolnshire and Norfolk), two Leach's Petrels (Norfolk), thirty Pomarine Skuas (Lincolnshire) and 627 Great Skuas (Norfolk). |
