| The highlight of the day was the discovery of a Myrtle Warbler in County Cork on Cape Clear: only the twenty-ninth record for the British Isles but the tenth for Cape Clear; where the last was present on 30th-31st October 2005. The Myrtle Warbler follows four American Buff-bellied Pipits (Shetland Isles, Orkney Isles and County Galway), a Bobolink (Glamorgan), an Alder or Willow Flycatcher (Norfolk), Northern Parula (Argyll) and Swainson's Thrush (Shetland Isles) as the ninth Nearctic landbird to be found so far this autumn. On the Shetland Isles the Sykes's Warbler and American Buff-bellied Pipit remained on Mainland, as did Hornemann's Arctic Redpoll and two Little Buntings on Unst, Black-headed Bunting and Citrine Wagtail on Out Skerries, Red-breasted Flycatcher, Red-backed Shrike and Great Grey Shrike, two each of both Buff-breasted Sandpiper and Barred Warbler, four Yellow-browed Warblers and 21 Lapland Buntings. On the Scilly Isles an American Golden Plover arrived alongside Spotted Sandpiper, Rustic Bunting, Pectoral Sandpiper, Yellow-browed Warbler, three Wrynecks and six Lapland Buntings. Elsewhere, rarities comprised a brief Red-rumped Swallow in Lincolnshire, Siberian Stonechat in Cornwall, Semipalmated Sandpiper in Essex, Wilson's Phalaropes in both Norfolk and County Wicklow, Spotted Sandpiper in Devon, American Golden Plover in East Yorkshire, King Eider in Suffolk, Lesser Scaup in Warwickshire, Glossy Ibis in Dorset, Ferruginous Ducks in both Somerset and West Yorkshire and single Ross's Geese in both Angus and Cumbria. |
