| Seawatching, once again, provided the highlights today, with the star being a
Madeiran Petrel in Cornwall. First seen at 2.30pm, it was later seen
lingering between 3.50pm and 3.55pm, before flying west. Single Wilson's
Petrels flew past Brandon Point, County Kerry and Bridges of Ross, County
Clare. Other seabird totals included 119 Great Shearwaters, 27 Cory's
Shearwaters, 99 Sabine's Gulls, 41 Leach's Petrels and two
Grey Phalaropes. In Devon, records were broken with 304 Balearic
Shearwaters flying past Berry Head, Brixham, and 238 flying past Start
Point.
Other new rarities were limited, with just a Citrine Wagtail on Fair Isle, Shetland, and a Semipalmated Sandpiper at Clonakilty, County Cork. Lingering rarities included single Pallid Harriers in County Wexford and Shetland, Spotted Sandpiper in Devon, House Crow in County Cork, Bee-eater in Isles of Scilly and American Golden Plover in County Durham. |
