| In Lincolnshire a female Bufflehead was found at Covenham Reservoir in
the afternoon. It remained for the rest of the day and raised questions as to
whether it may have been the overwintering bird from Cornwall on the move, or
even a bird that has been in Holland recently. The only other new rarity
discovered was a Glossy Ibis on the Isles of Scilly - first seen over
St.Mary's, then later relocated on Tresco. Other lingering Glossy Ibises
comprised one in Dorset and three in Pembrokeshire.
Three Black-winged Stilts remained along the Exe Estuary in Devon with another still at Frampton in Lincolnshire. Other lingering rarities included the Red-breasted Goose in Highland, Blue-winged Teal in Cornwall, Iberian Chiffchaff in Cambridgeshire and two Long-billed Dowitchers in Somerset. A Hoopoe was in County Kerry and there were three Wrynecks in Northumberland with further singles in Aberdeenshire and on Fair Isle. Dotterels were present in County Galway (3) and Oxfordshire and there was a Pectoral Sandpiper on Islay. A Roseate Tern was reported briefly in Bedfordshire and the Ring-necked Duck was again at West Ashby in Lincolnshire. Plenty of commoner migrants were on the move with Ring Ouzels and Arctic and Black Terns on many a local patch. |
