| The first Greater Yellowlegs for Northumberland was discovered in
Whitley Bay late morning, on the north pool at East Chevington NWT. It went
missing a couple of times, before reappearing nearby at Hauxley NR shortly before dusk,
where it remained until dark. Further south, the identity of the Eastern
Black Redstart was confirmed at Margate, Kent, where it was present all day.
More classic late autumn rarities discovered today included single Hume's Yellow-browed Warblers at Newburgh, Aberdeenshire and Winspit, Dorset, Dusky Warbler on Holy Island, Northumberland and single Pallid Swifts in Norfolk and Dorset (the latter being unfortunate enough to be picked up off the ground in Langton Herring and released at Portland Bill, where it was promptly killed by a Sparrowhawk). New, or relocating, Glossy Ibises were present in Derbyshire, Cheshire and County Cork. Lingering rarity highlights included Northern Waterthrush and Wilson's Snipe on the Isles of Scilly, Bufflehead in Cornwall, Forster's Tern in County Galway, Northern Harrier in County Wexford, American Buff-bellied Pipit in County Cork, Olive-backed Pipit on Fair Isle (where there was also an impressive flock of 59 Tundra Bean Geese), Semipalmated Sandpiper in Cleveland and Desert Wheatear in Norfolk. |
