| The highlight of the day was the continued presence of both the American Bittern
and Green Heron in Cornwall, although the former proved elusive and was only ever seen in flight. Other rarities comprised the
House Crow still in County Cork, Franklin's Gull in Derbyshire, Western Bonelli's Warbler on the Shetland Isles,
Lesser Yellowlegs in Oxfordshire, King Eider in Suffolk, Glossy Ibis in Norfolk and single
American Golden Plovers in County Cork, Devon, Norfolk and County Tipperary. On the Isles of Scilly the Dusky Warbler remained alongside Red-breasted Flycatcher and two each of Serin, Yellow-browed Warbler and Spoonbill. Elsewhere, scarcities included Pallas's Warbler (East Yorkshire), Barred Warbler (Northumberland), Cattle Egret (Pembrokeshire), Pectoral Sandpiper (Norfolk), three Green-winged Teals, five Great Grey Shrikes, six Rough-legged Buzzards, flocks of Waxwings across 26 counties and a count of 3,908 Little Auks passing the Isle of May, Fife in just one hour. |
