| The big news of the day was the discovery of the second Bobolink of
the year, this time in Pembrokeshire on Skomer Island. A third was also possibly
seen at St David's Head, also Pembrokeshire, but was only seen briefly. Other
new arrivals included Hornemann's Arctic Redpoll and Rustic Bunting
in Orkney, on South Ronaldsay and Sanday respectively, Rustic Bunting at
Kilnsea, Yorkshire, Radde's Warbler at Tynemouth, Northumberland, King
Eider at Burghead, Moray and Red-throated Pipit at Prawle Point,
Devon.
Shetland highlights included two Red-flanked Bluetails, Pallas's Grasshopper Warbler, Dusky Warbler and Radde's Warbler, whilst lingering rarities there included Syke's Warbler, Black-headed Bunting and Citrine Wagtail. The Myrtle Warbler remained in County Cork, as did the Green Heron in Cornwall, single Wilson's Phalaropes in Norfolk and County Wicklow, Semipalmated Sandpiper and Baird's Sandpiper in Essex, King Eider in Suffolk, Long-billed Dowitcher in Flintshire and Spotted Sandpiper in Devon. |
