| New rarities discovered today included a Western Bonelli's Warbler alongside a
Melodious Warbler in County Cork at Mizen Head, a Wilson's Petrel in County Clare passing the Bridges of Ross, and a
Red-footed Falcon seen briefly in Norfolk. A suspected Red-necked Stint at Weir Wood Reservoir, East Sussex remained frustratingly distant until dusk. Lingering rarities included the Little Bittern in Norfolk, Semipalmated Sandpipers in both County Cork and County Wexford, Baird's Sandpiper and Black Kite in Cornwall, Spotted Sandpiper in Devon, Bonaparte's Gull and American Golden Plover together in County Durham, Blue-winged Teal in Cleveland, and three White-rumped Sandpipers in County Wexford. Highlights from the Scilly Isles comprised Aquatic Warbler, Baird's Sandpiper, Lesser Yellowlegs, Bee-eater, Red-backed Shrike, two each of both Woodchat Shrike and Wryneck, three Pectoral Sandpipers, five Lapland Buntings and six Buff-breasted Sandpipers. Meanwhile, on Shetland Isles at least four Pallid Harriers were logged, with two each of both Barred Warbler and Common Rosefinch also noted. Elsewhere, scarcity tallies included 43 Lapland Buntings, 19 Buff-breasted Sandpipers, 17 Pectoral Sandpipers, eight Wrynecks, four Common Rosefinches, two Barred Warblers, and single White-winged Black Tern (Oxfordshire), Rose-coloured Starling (Suffolk), Hoopoe (Northumberland) and Corncrake (Orkney Isles). Seawatchers logged 49 Sabine's Gulls, seven Great Shearwaters, six each of Cory's Shearwater and Long-tailed Skua, whilst Balearic Shearwaters passed Devon and Dorset in impressive numbers, including 316 off Orcombe Point alone. |
