| Few of the new rarities discovered today were twitchable, with a Lesser
Yellowlegs at Alkborough Flats, Lincolnshire late afternoon being the only
one potentially seen by anyone but the finder(s). A Pallid Harrier on
Walland Marsh, Kent is the second for the county, following the well twitched
bird at Elmley Marshes RSPB back in 2002. Other new discoveries included a
White-rumped Sandpiper on Tresco, Isles of Scilly and American Golden
Plover at Rosscarbery, County Cork, and flyovers included a Pallid Swift
at Landguard NR, Suffolk and single Glossy Ibises in Essex and Sussex.
Lingering rarities included Steppe Grey Shrike in Shropshire, Brown Shrike in Argyll, Northern Waterthrush, Wilson's Snipe, Lesser Yellowlegs, Dusky Warbler and Olive-backed Pipit in the Isles of Scilly, Northern Harrier in County Wexford, Pallid Harrier in Ayrshire, Squacco Heron in Nottinghamshire, Daurian Shrike in Pembrokeshire, Desert Wheatear and Baird's Sandpiper in Orkney, Bonaparte's Gull in Cornwall, two Long-billed Dowitchers in Somerset, White-rumped Sandpiper in Leicestershire, Lesser Yellowlegs in Anglesey and Red-breasted Goose in Dorset. Following a twelve day stay in Shetland, the Siberian Rubythroat was not seen at Gulberwick. |
