| The fifth Fea's Petrel of the autumn was seen at Old Head of Kinsale,
County Cork today, but it was a slightly quieter day elsewhere for seawatching,
with 249 Great Shearwaters, a single Cory's Shearwater, two
Long-tailed Skuas, ten Pomarine Skuas, three Leach's Petrels,
two Grey Phalaropes and six Sabine's Gulls being the cumulative
totals.
An Arctic Warbler was found on Fetlar, Shetland, whilst the Pallid Harrier and Greenish Warbler also remained on the islands, with another of the latter in County Cork. Single American Golden Plovers were in County Durham and County Kerry, with a White-rumped Sandpiper also in the latter county. Five Glossy Ibises flew over Atwick, Yorkshire, a Baird's Sandpiper was in Argyll and an Ortolan Bunting and a couple of Citrine Wagtails were on the Isles of Scilly. A Marbled Duck was present at Freckleton, Lancashire this evening.
