| The Red-rumped Swallow was once again the most prominent species today,
with seven new individuals found. These were at Spurn, Yorkshire, Gibraltar
Point and Frampton Marsh RSPB, Lincolnshire (with two at the latter site),
Landguard NR, Suffolk, Pegwell Bay, Kent and Wicken Fen NT, Cambridgeshire.
These brought the Spring total to at least 37 birds, whilst others remained in
the Isles of Scilly and in Norfolk. Other new discoveries included a
White-rumped Sandpiper at Cley, Norfolk, a Spotted Sandpiper at
Tacumshin, County Wexford and a Glossy Ibis at Meare, Somerset, whilst
Lincolnshire hosted a Pallid Harrier and at least one Alpine Swift.
Lingering rarities today included the Squacco Heron in Somerset, Long-billed Dowitcher in Cumbria, Black-winged Stilts in Kent (2) and Lincolnshire, American Golden Plover in County Wexford, King Eider in Aberdeenshire, Lesser Scaup in Highland and Glossy Ibises in Sussex (2) and Pembrokeshire (3). |
