| The highlight of the day was a Least Sandpiper at Old Moor, South Yorkshire. After being identified late in the afternoon, it remained until dusk and constituted the third record for Yorkshire (following singles in July 1991 and October 1999) and the third to be discovered in spring the British Isles; the others being in Hampshire in May 1977 and Staffordshire/Warwickshire in 2002. Lingering rarities confirmed as still present comprised the Eastern Subalpine Warbler in the Shetland Isles, Bonaparte's Gulls in both Devon and Gwynedd, Red-footed Falcon in Somerset, Savi's Warbler in Dorset, and American Golden Plover in County Wexford. The best of the rest included Red-breasted Flycatcher (Northumberland), Icterine Warbler (Fife, Orkney Isles and Shetland Isles), Common Rosefinch (Orkney and Shetland), Red-backed Shrike (Orkney and Shetland), Hoopoe (Gwent), Night Heron (Warwickshire), Purple Heron (Lincolnshire and Suffolk), White-tailed Eagle (Lincolnshire), Red-necked Phalarope (Lincolnshire and Orkney) and Great White Egret (County Sligo). |
