| The highlight of the day was the identification of Britain's first American White-winged Scoter between Blackdog and Murcar, Aberdeenshire. Present offshore with a large scoter flock - including three
Surf Scoters - the identity of the first-summer drake American White-winged Scoter was first suspected yesterday,
but only was confirmed from photographs this afternoon, at which the news was
broadcast. It then remained on show until late in the evening. Rarities elsewhere comprised a brief Great Reed Warbler on the Shetland Isles at Maywick, two Red-footed Falcons together in Norfolk at Hickling Broad, the American Eider still in County Donegal, and a King Eider still in Aberdeenshire. Scarcities included Serin (Suffolk), Marsh Warbler (Norfolk), Red-backed Shrike (Orkney Isles), Red-necked Phalarope (East Yorkshire), White-tailed Eagle (Lincolnshire), Night Heron (Cambridgeshire), American Wigeon (Aberdeenshire), Pectoral Sandpiper (Cleveland) and Great White Egret (Derbyshire, Kent, County Londonderry and South Yorkshire). |
