| The Isles of Scilly was the place to be today, with the confirmation early
morning of the continued presence of the Northern Waterthrush at Lower
Moors, St Mary's. Birders searching for this bird then stumbled upon a
Black-and-White Warbler late morning, with both birds remaining very elusive
- the Northern Waterthrush showing again this evening. Nearby, the Solitary
Sandpiper remained at Newford Duckpond, as did the Bee-eater.
The second Pallid Harrier for Essex proved popular, with other new discoveries including an American Black Tern in Lincolnshire, Arctic Warbler in Shetland, Wilson's Phalarope in County Cork and Long-billed Dowitcher in Clyde, together with two Semipalmated Sandpipers in County Kerry, two Baird's Sandpipers in County Mayo and three White-rumped Sandpipers (County Mayo, County Offaly and Cornwall). A Least Sandpiper was on Foula, Shetland for its third day, and a Wilson's Petrel was seen again in County Clare. Lingering rarities included a Snowy Owl, a Blue-winged Teal, a Long-billed Dowitcher, a Lesser Yellowlegs, an American Golden Plover, two White-rumped Sandpipers, two Baird's Sandpipers, two Spotted Sandpipers, two Citrine Wagtails, two Black Kites, three Pallid Harriers and three Semipalmated Sandpipers. |
