| In Co Wexford Tacumshin continued its phenomenal run of rarities with the
discovery of juvenile Pallid Harrier. In recent weeks Tacumshin has
produced Sharp-tailed, at least two White-rumped, Baird's, two Semipalmated and
Buff-breasted Sandpipers, Pacific Golden Plover and now Pallid Harrier. The
Sharp-tailed, two Semipalmated, two White-rumped and
Buff-breasted Sandpipers all remained on show today.
In Northumberland the Black Scoter reappeared off Bamburgh, juvenile Baird's Sandpipers were discovered on the Hayle Estuary RSPB (Cornwall) and West Burra (Shetland) and juvenile Pallid Harriers remained on St Mary's (Isles of Scilly) and Unst (Shetland). A Bee-eater lingered on Isles of Scilly and a Bonaparte's Gull was again at Dawlish Warren NNR (Devon). Scarcity totals included five Wrynecks, two Melodious Warblers, two Pectoral Sandpipers and single Serin (Dorset), Barred Warbler (Shetland), Night Heron (East Sussex), White Stork (Hampshire), Red-backed Shrike (Norfolk), Spotted Crake (Somerset), Great White Egret and Cattle Egret (Kent). |
