| A quieter day today, with new discoveries including an Arctic Warbler
at Hoswick, Shetland, and a new Citrine Wagtail on North Ronaldsay,
Orkney. A Citrine Wagtail was also seen at Cley NWT, Norfolk, for its
second day.
The Sharp-tailed Sandpiper remained at Tacumshin, County Wexford, as did the Pallid Harrier, White-rumped Sandpiper, American Golden Plover and two Buff-breasted Sandpipers. Other lingering rarities included the Bonaparte's Gull and American Golden Plover in County Durham, Citrine Wagtail in Isles of Scilly, Spotted Sandpiper in Devon, Baird's Sandpiper in Cornwall, Semipalmated Sandpiper in County Cork and Ferruginous Duck in Somerset. Few scarcities were seen today apart from seabirds (except a Rose-coloured Starling, a White-winged Black Tern, two Melodious Warblers, two Woodchat Shrikes and nine Wrynecks). Seabird totals included 71 Sabine's Gulls, 52 Great Shearwaters, 40 Leach's Petrels, 36 Pomarine Skuas, 14 Long-tailed Skuas, seven Grey Phalaropes and a Red-necked Phalarope, and a few Manx Shearwaters were seen well inland. |
