| The highlight of what was a good day for seawatching was a Fea's Petrel passing the Bridges of Ross, County Clare during the afternoon. Cumulative day totals included six
Cory's Shearwaters (all off County Mayo), seven Sabine's Gulls (all off County Clare), 11
Long-tailed Skuas, and a remarkable 2,249 Great Shearwaters logged
between County Donegal and Cornwall (where 2,003 passed Porthgwarra alone). Elsewhere, new discoveries concerned a brief American Black Tern and a Semipalmated Sandpiper in County Kerry, Spotted Sandpiper and Aquatic Warbler in Devon, Greeninsh Warbler in County Cork, King Eider on the Shetland Isles, and a Black Kite briefly in Surrey. Lingering rarities comprised the Eastern Olivaceous Warbler and Great Snipe still together on the Shetland Isles, Sharp-tailed Sandpiper, Pallid Harrier, Citrine Wagtail, two American Golden Plovers and a White-rumped Sandpiper together in County Wexford, Black Scoter in Aberdeenshire, Citrine Wagtail in Merseyside, Bonaparte's Gull in County Durham, Black Duck in County Kerry, two Black Kites in Cornwall, Bee-eater on the Isles of Scilly, and both the Ferruginous Duck and Ring-necked Duck in Somerset. Scarcities included 13 Pectoral Sandpipers, nine Common Rosefinches, seven Wrynecks, five Buff-breasted Sandpipers, three each of Spotted Crake, Cattle Egret and Great White Egret, two Surf Scoters (in Aberdeenshire) and a Barred Warbler (Lincolnshire). |
