| Several quality new rarities were discovered today, but none were easily
gettable by more than a few observers. The highlight was a juvenile Pallid
Harrier, which was present on Fair Isle from mid evening, along with a
Greenish Warbler and a Short-toed Lark. Two Two-barred Crossbills
were seen very briefly in Kilnsea, Yorkshire, before flying off north, and a
Wilson's Petrel was off a pelagic out of the Isles of Scilly this evening.
An unringed Baltic Gull was seen at Blackborough End, Norfolk.
Lingering rarities included the Semipalmated Sandpiper in County Kerry, Black Kite in Cornwall and Ferruginous Duck in Suffolk. Autumn scarcities continued to arrive, with a Wryneck and three Icterine Warblers on the east coast. Single Melodious Warblers were in Dorset and Pembrokeshire, whilst other scarcities included White-winged Black Tern in Cambridgeshire, single Woodchat Shrikes in Gloucestershire and Isles of Scilly, Red-backed Shrike in Shetland and Buff-breasted Sandpiper in Orkney. |
