| The highlight of the day was an Alpine Swift watched over the Calf of Man, Isle of Man. Elsewhere, the
Black Scoter was relocated with four Surf Scoters in Aberdeenshire off Murcar
and, on the Western Isles, the Bonaparte's Gull was relocated on
Berneray. Other lingering rarities confirmed as still present comprised the Marsh Sandpiper in East Yorkshire, two Pacific Golden Plovers together in County Londonderry, Spotted Sandpipers in both Leicestershire and County Wexford, Western Bonelli's Warbler in Derbyshire, and Ferruginous Duck in Somerset. Scarcities included Common Rosefinch (Cambridgeshire), Ring-billed Gull (County Antrim), Cattle Egret (West Sussex), Great White Egret (Dorset), White-tailed Eagle, American Wigeon and Temminck's Stint (all Lincolnshire). Notable seabirds included 141 Cory's Shearwaters (107 counted from the Isles of Scilly alone), seven Balearic Shearwaters, and a Sabine's Gull in Highland. |
