| The first Sharp-tailed Sandpiper for Somerset was discovered today at
Blagdon Lake. It is only the fifth juvenile to be seen in Britain, and is the
first ever to be found in November. A male Desert Wheatear was seen in
Devon, where it spent the afternoon at Man Sands, whilst, nearby, a Spotted
Sandpiper was identified at Lyme Regis, Dorset. Further east, a
White-rumped Sandpiper was at West Canvey Marsh RSPB, Essex, a Glossy
Ibis was at Dungeness, Kent and a Red-rumped Swallow was at Winterton,
Norfolk.
Lingering rarity highlights included the Veery in Highland, Eastern Black Redstart and Greater Yellowlegs in Northumberland, Bufflehead in Cornwall, Hume's Yellow-browed Warblers in Suffolk and Shetland, Wilson's Snipe and two Dusky Warblers on the Isles of Scilly (with another of the latter in Yorkshire), Pallid Harrier in County Cork, Red-breasted Geese in Essex and Devon, Lesser Yellowlegs and Glossy Ibis in Anglesey (with another of the latter in Essex) and two Long-billed Dowitchers and a Spotted Sandpiper in Somerset. |
