| Despite an arrival of migrants all down the east coast, it was the northern
isles that stole the limelight today. New rarities on Shetland were as follows:
2.Red-flanked Bluetails and a Red-throated Pipit on Fair Isle; 2.Blyth's
Reed Warblers, a Paddyfield Warbler and a Rustic Bunting on
Mainland; a Siberian Stonechat on Fetlar and a new Hornemann's Arctic
Redpoll on Unst. There was also belated news of a Subalpine Warbler
yesterday on Fair Isle. Orkney boasted an American Buff-bellied Pipit on
Mainland and a Little Bunting on North Ronaldsay. Elsewhere new rarities
included a Blyth's Reed Warbler in County Cork for its second day and a
Savi's Warbler reported at East Hills at Wells, in Norfolk. A Little
Bunting was at Spurn in Yorkshire and an American Golden Plover was
at Ballycotton in County Cork. New Glossy Ibises were found in County
Tyrone and Herefordshire.
The two Mega-rarities remained on show - the Alder or Willow Flycatcher at Blakeney Point (Norfolk) and Northern Parula on Tiree (Argyll). Other lingering rarities included American Buff-bellied Pipit on Fair Isle and Arctic Warbler on Mainland (both Shetland), Greenish Warbler in Cornwall, King Eider in Suffolk, Whiskered Tern in Glamorgan, Hornemann's Arctic Redpoll on the Farne Islands, Spotted Sandpipers in Devon and on Scilly and White-rumped Sandpiper in Kent. A White-winged Black Tern proved very popular at Hyde Park in London. Among the large numbers of common migrants along the east coast were a good smattering of Yellow-browed Warblers, Barred Warblers, Wrynecks, Red-breasted Flycatchers, Great Grey Shrikes and Ring Ouzels. |
