| The highlight of the day was the discovery of a showy Little Crake at Arundel, West Sussex.
Elsewhere, a Black Scoter found at Colwyn Bay, Conwy, soon disappeared, a
Bee-eater flew over St Mary's, Isles of Scilly, and six White-billed Divers
were located in northwest Scotland: four in the Western Isles off the Isle of Lewis, and singles in Highland at
both Loch Ewe and Melvaig. Lingering rarities comprised the Rufous Turtle Dove still in Oxfordshire, American Coot in County Mayo, Northern Harrier in County Wexford, House Crow in County Cork, Gull-billed Tern in Cornwall, Bonaparte's Gull in Aberdeenshire, Long-billed Dowitcher in Dorset and single Lesser Scaups in both Gloucestershire and Merseyside. The best of the rest included Short-toed Larks in both Cornwall and Dorset, Woodchat Shrikes in County Cork, Glamorgan and the Isles of Scilly (2), Purple Herons in Anglesey, Cornwall, East Yorkshire and the Isles of Scilly, Serins in Cheshire and Hampshire, Wrynecks on the Isles of Scilly and Suffolk, single Hoopoes in County Cork, County Kerry, Cornwall, Kent, Pembrokeshire and Worcestershire, Spotted Crake in Warwickshire and the territorial White-spotted Bluethroat still in Norfolk. |
