| The highlight of the day was a the discovery of a Sandhill Crane in Aberdeenshire at the Loch of Strathbeg, where it remained
in nearby fields until dusk. Nearctic landbirds were represented by Northern Waterthrush still on St Mary's, Isles of Scilly, Swainson's Thrush (still on the Shetland Isles) and Red-eyed Vireo on the Western Isles on Barra, with three American Buff-bellied Pipits: two together in the Orkney Isles on North Ronaldsay and one on Foula, Shetland Isles. Nearctic waders comprised Solitary Sandpiper (Isles of Scilly), Semipalmated Sandpiper (County Mayo (6) and County Cork), Baird's Sandpiper (County Mayo and Scilly), Spotted Sandpiper (Gloucestershire), Long-billed Dowitcher (Clyde and Cornwall), Lesser Yellowlegs (Cornwall), American Golden Plovers (County Mayo and County Wexford), White-rumped Sandpiper (Aberdeenshire, Glamorgan, County Kerry, County Wexford (2) and Western Isles), 16 Buff-breasted Sandpipers and 25 Pectoral Sandpipers. Otherwise, Pallid Harriers were noted in Argyll, County Wexford and West Sussex, Blyth's Reed Warblers in Argyll and County Kerry, two Citrine Wagtails together on the Orkney Isles, Black Kite in Cornwall, Bee-eater on the Isles of Scilly, Ferruginous Duck in Somerset, American Black Tern in Lincolnshire and Azorean Yellow-legged Gull in Bedfordshire but, disappointingly, the Long-toed Stint had gone from East Sussex. |
