The highlight of the day was the discovery of a Lesser Yellowlegs in Staffordshire at Uttoxeter Quarry. Elsewhere, a
Subalpine Warbler was found on the Shetland Isles at Kergord, and Black Kites
were seen briefly in both Hampshire and the Orkney Isles. Lingering rarities comprised the Terek Sandpiper still in Northumberland, Black Stork in Northamptonshire, Bonaparte's Gulls in both Devon and Gwynedd, American Golden Plover in County Wexford, Red-rumped Swallow in East Sussex, Savi's Warbler in Dorset, and Bee-eater in Highland. Scarcities included Buff-breasted Sandpiper (County Wexford), Purple Heron (Cuffolk), Surf Scoter (Lothian), Ring-necked Duck (Somerset), migrant Red-necked Phalaropes (Cleveland, East Yorkshire, Norfolk and Worcestershire), Common Rosefinch and Red-backed Shrike (both on the Shetland Isles). |
