South Milton Ley (Devon). Elsewhere lingering rarities comprised Blue-winged
Teal and Lesser Yellowlegs in Cornwall, Long-billed Dowitcher
in Somerset, Greater Yellowlegs and White-billed Diver in
Aberdeenshire, Common Yellowthroat in Gwent, Lesser Scaup and
Spotted Sandpiper in Somerset, Siberian Stonechat in Co Wexford and
Hume's Yellow-browed Warbler in Dorset. A Lesser Scaup was also
reported in Glamorgan.
The best of the rest included Rose-coloured Starling and Pectoral Sandpiper in Ayrshire, Richard's Pipit in Dorset, Night Herons in Devon and Cornwall, Cattle Egret in Gloucestershire and Yellow-browed Warblers in Devon and Worcestershire. Glossy Ibises were logged in Norfolk (4), Co Galway, Lancashire, Suffolk and Cleveland. Unconfirmed reports related to a possible Lesser White-fronted Goose in Aberdeenshire and a report of a tattler species in Dorset yesterday. |
