| In Aberdeenshire, a first-summer drake Black Scoter was discovered off
Murcar Golf Course, Blackdog this evening. This is the second for the county,
the second in consecutive years following the long staying adult drake at the
same location from June to October 2011. The Black Scoter joined the long
staying King Eider and Surf Scoter, both still present in the same
area.
Elsewhere, four Bee-eaters were at Climping, West Sussex briefly early morning, whilst a Red-footed Falcon was discovered in County Antrim, near Slemish Mountain. The Roller was confirmed as still present in Yorkshire at Aldbrough, as was the Savi's Warbler at nearby Blacktoft Sands, with other lingering rarities including the Black-winged Stilt in Norfolk, Long-billed Dowitcher in Cleveland and single Glossy Ibises in Hampshire and Pembrokeshire. Scarcity highlights included a White-winged Black Tern in Norfolk, single Woodchat Shrikes in Conwy and Norfolk, Purple Heron in Kent, Night Heron in Hampshire, Dotterel in Argyll, Pectoral Sandpiper in Shetland, Marsh Warbler in Northumberland, Golden Oriole in Yorkshire, Surf Scoter in Orkney and four White Storks in Somerset. Late news from yesterday concerned a summer plumaged adult female Grey Phalarope in Highland, which roosted on St John's Pool in the evening. |
