| The highlight of the day was a Sandhill Crane that flew south over Dunbar, Lothian at 8.15am. Elsewhere, single
Fea's Petrels flew past Sheringham, Norfolk, and Frinton-on-Sea, Essex, a
Baird's Sandpiper was discovered in County Galway at Mweenish Island, an
American Golden Plover arrived in County Wicklow at Kilcoole, as did a Tawny Pipit in County Cork at Dursey Island, and an
Ortolan Bunting on North Ronaldsay, Orkney Isles. Around the Scilly Isles the Solitary Sandpiper remained alongside Bee-eater, Woodchat Shrike, Red-backed Shrike, Dotterel, three each of both Buff-breasted Sandpiper and Pectoral Sandpiper, and five Wrynecks. On the Shetland Isles two Pallid Harriers continued to show along with Yellow-browed Warbler and Lapland Bunting. Other Nearctic waders comprised lingering Semipalmated Sandpipers in County Cork, Cornwall, County Kerry and the Western Isles, Baird's Sandpiper in Hampshire, Spotted Sandpipers in both Devon and Gloucestershire, Long-billed Dowitcher and Lesser Yellowlegs in Cornwall, and White-rumped Sandpipers in Argyll, County Galway, County Kerry and County Wexford. The Pallid Harrier remained in County Wexford, as did the Snowy Owl on the Western Isles, Citrine Wagtails in both County Kerry and the Orkney Isles, Blue-winged Teal in Cleveland, and three Black Kites together in Cornwall. |
