| Another species that has become almost predictable on the east coast in late
May or early June in recent years today made an unexpected appearance on Lundy, Devon. A
Trumpeter Finch, apparently present for a few days, was seen at the Halfway
Wall on the island, where it showed very well to the few appreciative admirers.
Elsewhere, a Broad-billed Sandpiper was found at Lound, where it represented the second record for Nottinghamshire, with the first almost 50 years ago. A second Broad-billed Sandpiper remained at Bowness-on-Solway, Cumbria. An adult White-billed Diver was found at Tacumshin, County Wexford, where the adult Forster's Tern also remained. Lingering rarities included the Great Snipe and Lesser Yellowlegs in Norfolk (with the former proving extremely elusive and only seen for a short period during the evening), a metal ringed Savi's Warbler in Dorset, Iberian Chiffchaff in Cornwall, Eastern Subalpine Warbler in Shetland, single Bonaparte's Gulls in Devon and Cornwall and King Eider in Aberdeenshire. |
