| The first Red-footed Falcon of the year, an adult male, was seen at
Babingley, Norfolk early afternoon where it showed well to the finder, but
eluded everyone else. An Alpine Swift flew over Upminster, London early
morning, an Ortolan Bunting was at Wester Quarff, Shetland and a
Glossy Ibis flew over Greystones, County Wicklow. New Red-rumped Swallows
were seen at Scarborough and Spurn, both Yorkshire and at Bawdsey, Suffolk.
Lingering rarities included the Squacco Heron in Somerset, Spotted Sandpiper in County Wexford, King Eider in Aberdeenshire, four Glossy Ibises in Pembrokeshire and Red-rumped Swallows in the Isles of Scilly (2) and Northumberland. Other notable occurrences today included the first big passage of skuas in the north-west, with the highest totals being 417 Long-tailed and 172 Poms off Aird an Runair, North Uist, with smaller numbers elsewhere, and also the now regular Spring influx of Red Kites into Cornwall, with 84 individuals reported. |
