| The highlight of the day was reappearance of the Black Scoter in Aberdeenshire at
Blackdog, where it was watched alongside two Surf Scoters and a King Eider. Elsewhere, rarities comprised the
Forster's Tern still in County Wexford, Little Bittern in Hertfordshire,
Iberian Chiffchaff in Cornwall, Long-billed Dowitcher in Cleveland,
Black-winged Stilt in Norfolk, Red-footed Falcon in County Antrim,
Glossy Ibises in County Fermanagh, Pembrokeshire and Suffolk, a brief Black Kite in Lincolnshire, and five
Bee-eaters migrating over East Sussex. Scarce migrants included a Common Rosefinch in Fife, Marsh Warblers in Northumberland and the Orkney Isles, Red-backed Shrikes in both Northumberland and Suffolk, American Wigeon in Aberdeenshire, Night Heron in Hampshire, Great White Egret in Cheshire, Temminck's Stint in West Yorkshire, and four White Storks together in Somerset before departing for Dorset. Single Rose-colored Starlings were in present in gardens in both Conwy and Cornwall, making a total of twenty individuals of this species located across the British Isles - from Kent to Cornwall, through Pembrokeshire, County Clare, Highland, East Yorkshire and Suffolk - since the 7th May 2012. |
