| The highlight of the day was the discovery of a Pacific Golden Plover in County Mayo on the
Inishkea Islands. Elsewhere, a Greenish Warbler was new on Walney Island, Cumbria, and
single Red-footed Falcons were located in Derbyshire at Willington, and Somerset at Tealham Moor. Brief encounters included another
Roller in East Yorkshire (just five miles northwest of the still lingering
bird), Black Stork in County Clare, Red-footed Falcon in County Galway,
Black Kite in Lothian, and a flock of five Bee-eaters in East Yorkshire. Lingering rarities confirmed as still present were the territorial Baillon's Crake on Anglesey, Roller in East Yorkshire, Forster's Tern and Red-footed Falcon together in County Wexford, Snowy Owl on the Western Isles, Iberian Chiffchaff and Great Reed Warbler in Cornwall, Long-billed Dowitcher in Cleveland, two Black-winged Stilts together in Hampshire, and Glossy Ibises in Devon, Pembrokeshire (3) and Suffolk (2). Scarce migrants included four White Storks together in Norfolk, three each of Marsh Warbler, Red-necked Phalarope and Pectoral Sandpiper, two each of Short-toed Lark (together in Devon), Red-backed Shrike and Temminck's Stint, and single Rose-coloured Starling (Kent), Serin (Suffolk), Woodchat Shrike (Norfolk), Purple Heron (West Sussex), Ring-necked Duck (Cheshire), Ring-billed Gull (Shetland Isles), with Melodious Warbler and Common Rosefinch together in Gwynedd, and both Golden Oriole and Night Heron in Hampshire. |
