| The highlight of the day was the discovery of a Blyth's Reed Warbler in Wirral on Hilbre Island: only the second county record. Elsewhere, a
Bonaparte's Gull was found at Berrow, Somerset, and a Bee-eater arrived on St Mary's, Isle of Scilly. Lingering rarities confirmed as still present comprised the Forster's Tern in County Wexford, Eastern Subalpine Warbler on the Shetland Isles, Bonaparte's Gull in Devon and the King Eider in Aberdeenshire. Scarcities included White-winged Black Tern (County Clare), Rose-coloured Starling (Ayrshire), Common Rosefinch (Anglesey), Red-backed Shrike (East Yorkshire), Surf Scoter (Aberdeenshire and County Durham), Pectoral Sandpiper (Cheshire and Orkney Isles), Ring-necked Duck (Somerset) and Great White Egret (Angus and Kent). Around Spurn, East Yorkshire Icterine Warbler, Marsh Warbler, Common Rosefinch and Golden Oriole were all logged. |
