| The highlight of the day was the second Isabelline Wheatear of the
year, this time at Spurn, Yorkshire, where it was trapped and ringed late
afternoon and remained in the area until dusk.
In Aberdeenshire, both a Desert Wheatear and a Dusky Warbler were found, the former at Girdle Ness and the latter at Balmedie Country Park. Single Red-throated Pipits were seen in County Galway and County Cork, and the discovery of late swifts continued with confirmed Pallid Swifts being seen in Ceredigion, Dorset and Northumberland. New American Golden Plovers were found in Lancashire and the Western Isles, and close scrutiny of the Wilson's Snipe on the Isles of Scilly confirmed that it is a different individual to that present earlier in the autumn. Lingering rarities included the Steppe Grey Shrike in Shropshire, Squacco Heron in Nottinghamshire, Daurian Shrike in Pembrokeshire, Desert Wheatear in Orkney, Pallid Harriers in Kent and Ayrshire, Great Reed Warbler and Dusky Warbler in the Isles of Scilly, White-rumped Sandpipers in Leicestershire and County Cork, Lesser Yellowlegs' in Lincolnshire and Anglesey, Spotted Sandpipers in Devon and Somerset, Baird's Sandpiper and American Golden Plover in County Wexford, two Long-billed Dowitchers, Lesser Scaup and Ferruginous Duck in Somerset and Glossy Ibises in Dorset and Yorkshire. |
