| The highlight today was the reappearance of the Black Scoter in
Northumberland, this time being seen off Goswick this afternoon. Nearby, an
American Golden Plover was at Newbiggin at high tide, whilst in County
Wexford a Baird's Sandpiper was in Bannow Bay with a dowitcher species.
Significant late news concerned a very smart American Buff-bellied Pipit
in Sussex, photographed at Newhaven on Sunday, but not identified at the time.
Lingering island rarities included Northern Waterthrush, Least Sandpiper, Upland Sandpiper, two Lesser Yellowlegs', American Golden Plover and Red-throated Pipit in the Isles of Scilly, American Buff-bellied Pipit, Olive-backed Pipit, Daurian Shrike, Citrine Wagtail and American Golden Plover in Shetland, and Spotted Sandpiper, Long-billed Dowitcher, Baird's Sandpiper, two White-rumped Sandpipers, American Golden Plover and a Little Bunting in the Western Isles. Mainland rarity highlights included two Long-billed Dowitchers in Somerset (with singles in Ayrshire, Carmarthenshire and Dumfries and Galloway), Lesser Scaup in Northumberland, at least two Black Kites, a Glossy Ibis and a Lesser Yellowlegs in Cornwall, single Spotted Sandpipers in Devon and Somerset and single Ferruginous Ducks in Lincolnshire and Somerset. In Ireland, the Red-eyed Vireo remained in County Cork, as did the Bonaparte's Gull in County Antrim, two American Golden Plovers in County Mayo and Least Sandpiper, three Semipalmated Sandpipers and two Glossy Ibises in County Wexford. |
