| The highlight of the day was the arrival of single Black-winged Stilts in Devon
by the Exe Estuary, and Hampshire at Pennington Marshes, the latter bird joining a Glossy Ibis on site. All other new rarities were but brief
encounters: Caspian Tern in Aberdeenshire, Bee-eaters on Anglesey and in East Sussex (2). Lingering rarities comprised the territorial Baillon's Crake still on Anglesey, Greater Yellowlegs in Aberdeenshire, Rustic Bunting on Shetland Isles, Great Reed Warbler in Somerset, Red-footed Falcon in County Wexford, and Glossy Ibises in Pembrokeshire (3), County Wexford (2) and West Sussex. In London the Bonaparte's Gull remained on the River Thames at Thamesmead, with a different Bonaparte's Gull present there yesterday. Scarcities included 15 Temminck's Stints, nine Red-backed Shrikes, five Golden Orioles, four Marsh Warblers, three Common Rosefinches, two Pectoral Sandpipers, Buff-breasted Sandpiper (Western Isles), White-winged Black Tern (Cleveland), Woodchat Shrike (Cornwall), Rose-coloured Starling (East Sussex), Short-toed Lark and Red-spotted Bluethroat (both Northumberland). |
