| The highlight of the day was another sighting of a Fea's Petrel off the Irish coast; passing
Mizen Head, County Cork in the afternoon. Seawatching elsewhere produced
a Wilson's Petrel and a Sabine's Gull off County Clare, and cumulative totals of at least 146
Cory's Shearwaters (all off County Cork), 108 Great Shearwaters and three
Long-tailed Skuas. A Semipalmated Sandpiper was discovered in County Cork at Pilmore, a Citrine Wagtail made a brief appearance in Hampshire at Pennington Marshes, and an Ortolan Bunting was on St Martin's, Isles of Scilly. Whilst lingering rarities confirmed as still present today were the Sharp-tailed Sandpiper, Pallid Harrier and American Golden Plover all together in County Wexford, Baird's Sandpiper in Argyll, Spotted Sandpiper in Devon, Greenish Warbler in County Cork, Black Kite in Cornwall, American Golden Plover in County Durham, and Bee-eater on the Isles of Scilly. Scarcities included 14 Pectoral Sandpipers, six Buff-breasted Sandpipers, four Wrynecks, three Barred Warblers, two each of Woodchat Shrike and Cattle Egret, and single Melodious Warbler (Dorset), White-winged Black Tern (Oxon), Rose-coloured Starling (Dumfries and Galloway), Common Rosefinch (Pembrokeshire), Spotted Crake (Cheshire), Ring-necked Duck (Somerset) and and Lapland Bunting (Orkney Isles). |
