| A wide selection of Spring rarities were discovered today, with the rarest
being Ireland's fourth Great Reed Warbler on Great Saltee Island, County
Wexford (the first individual to be seen outside County Cork). The first modern
day record of Glossy Ibis for Buckinghamshire was welcomed by the locals,
whilst a female Citrine Wagtail at Cley, Norfolk this evening also proved
popular.
Apart from a/the Bee-eater on Portland, Dorset, all the other new rarities today were either seen very briefly or were otherwise inaccessible. These include a Red-throated Pipit at Spurn, Yorkshire, Little Bunting on Whalsay, Shetland, single Tawny Pipits at Stowmarket, Suffolk and Tresco, Scilly, single Black Kites on Unst, Shetland and at Loch Avich, Argyll and Red-footed Falcon at Paxton, Cambridgeshire. Lingering rarities seen today included Iberian Chiffchaff in Lancashire, Collared Pratincole in Lincolnshire, Bonaparte's Gull and American Golden Plover in Cornwall (with others of the former in Devon and Western Isles), King Eider in Aberdeenshire, White-billed Diver in Moray and Lesser Scaup in Gloucestershire. |
