| The highlight of the day was the discovery of a Citrine Wagtail in Conwy at Conwy RSPB, with,
elsewhere, other new rarities including a Broad-billed Sandpiper on the Wirral at Hoylake,
Rustic Bunting on the Shetland Isles on Unst, and single Tawny Pipits in East Yorkshire at Easington, and on Shetland at Sumburgh Head. Brief encounters comprised two
Red-rumped Swallows in Suffolk, and single Bee-eaters in each of
Dorset, East Yorkshire and Essex. Lingering rarities confirmed as still present today were the Trumpeter Finch in Devon, Black Stork in Northamptonshire, Iberian Chiffchaff in Cornwall, Black-headed Wagtail on the Isles of Scilly, Lesser Yellowlegs in Norfolk, Savi's Warbler in Dorset, Bonaparte's Gulls in both Cornwall and Devon, Ross's Goose in Perth and Kinross, and in County Wexford, Forster's Tern, White-billed Diver and American Golden Plover (all together at Tacumshin). The best of the rest included Buff-breasted Sandpiper (Cheshire), Night Heron (Warwickshire), White-tailed Eagle (East Yorkshire), White-spotted Bluethroat (Norfolk), Short-toed Lark (Isles of Scilly), Purple Heron (Cambridgeshire), Hoopoe (Buckinghamshire) and two Woodchat Shrikes (Isles of Scilly and Pembrokeshire). |
