| The highlight of the day was the continued presence of the Northern
Waterthrush, Black-and-white Warbler, Red-eyed Vireo and Solitary Sandpiper
on St Mary's, Isles of Scilly, with a supporting cast around the archipelago including
Blue-winged Teal, Bee-eater, Woodchat Shrike, Red-backed
Shrike, Wryneck, Dotterel and four Lapland Buntings. Meanwhile, on the Shetland Isles rarities included
Pechora Pipit and Arctic Warbler new on Foula, Great Snipe,
Citrine Wagtail and Little Bunting on Fair Isle, with two Pallid
Harriers, and both Arctic Warbler and Greenish Warbler together on Mainland. Seawatchers recorded a Barolo Little Shearwater passing Kilcummin Head, County Mayo, two Wilson's Petrels off Bridges of Ross, County Clare, with another passing Brandon Point, County Kerry. Nearctic waders comprised Least Sandpiper (Shetland Isles), Semipalmated Sandpiper (County Cork, County Kerry (2), Gloucestershire and Somerset), Baird's Sandpiper (County Donegal (2), Hampshire County Mayo (2) and Isle of Scilly), Wilson's Phalarope (County Cork), Spotted Sandpiper (Devon and Gloucestershire), Long-billed Dowitcher (Clyde, Cornwall and Kent), Lesser Yellowlegs (Cornwall), American Golden Plover (County Wexford), White-rumped Sandpiper (Cornwall (2), County Galway, County Offaly and County Wexford (4)), with 32 Buff-breasted Sandpipers and 24 Pectoral Sandpipers. Elsewhere, a Blue-winged Teal was discovered in County Clare, as were Tawny Pipit and Little Bunting on the Orkney Isles, the American Black Tern remained in Lincolnshire, as did the Pallid Harriers in both Essex and County Wexford, the Black Scoter in Aberdeenshire, two Black Kites together in Cornwall, and a Ferruginous Duck in Somerset. |
