| Further classic Spring rarities were discovered today. Single Red-rumped
Swallows were seen briefly in both Lincolnshire and Norfolk, male
Red-footed Falcons were in the same counties, with two in Norfolk, single
Bee-eaters were in Norfolk, Dorset and Sussex and a Black Kite was in
Cornwall. Rarity of the day must go to the second Black-headed Wagtail of
the year, this time spending the day at Cemlyn Bay NWWT, Anglesey.
The Rufous Turtle Dove continued its stay in Oxfordshire, as did the Subalpine Warbler in Yorkshire, Iberian Chiffchaff in Lancashire, single Bonaparte's Gulls in Cornwall, Devon and Western Isles and White-billed Diver in Moray. Scarcity highlights included a scattering of Temminck's Stints, single Red-necked Pahalarope, Woodchat Shrike, White-spotted Bluethroat, Rough-legged Buzzard and Purple Heron, and two each of White Stork (including a very mobile bird in Suffolk and Norfolk), Hoopoe, Golden Oriole and Wryneck. |
