| Highlight of the day was the first Upland Sandpiper in Ireland since a
one day bird in 1995. If this one remains on The Mullet, County Mayo, it will
undoubtedly prove popular. Elsewhere in Ireland a Pallid Harrier was seen
at St John's Point, County Down, and the Long-billed Dowitcher was
confirmed in Bannow Bay, County Wexford. A Fea's Petrel past North
Ronaldsay, Orkney, a Baird's Sandpiper at Loch Stiapabhat, Western Isles
and a Tawny Pipit at Burnham-on-Sea, Somerset rounded off the days new
rarities.
The American Buff-bellied Pipit was re-found at Newhaven, Sussex, whilst another remained in Shetland. Other lingering rarities included the Black Scoter and Lesser Scaup in Northumberland, Northern Waterthrush, Least Sandpiper, Upland Sandpiper, two Lesser Yellowlegs', American Golden Plover, Red-throated Pipit and a Subalpine Warbler in the Isles of Scilly, Red-eyed Vireo in County Cork, Daurian Shrike in Shetland, two Long-billed Dowitchers and a Spotted Sandpiper in Somerset, Long-billed Dowitcher and Baird's Sandpiper in the Western Isles, Long-billed Dowitcher in Dumfries and Galloway and American Golden Plover in Argyll. |
