| The second Little Swift for the North-west region was discovered this
afternoon, and continued to show superbly to the assembled birders above and
below the promenade at New Brighton, Wirral until dusk, when it was seen to go to roost. This is the first confirmed British
record since 2008, when one was seen at Spurn and, later, Old Moor RSPB,
Yorkshire.
Other quality rarities seen today included an adult Pacific Golden Plover at Cley NWT, Norfolk and a Bee-eater over Chivelstone, Devon. The identification of the Savi's Warbler in the latter county, at Topsham, was confirmed, and photographs of a Squacco Heron seen yesterday in a tree in Seaford, Sussex were published online. Lingering rarities confirmed as still present today included the Iberian Chiffchaff at Porlock, Somerset and the Glossy Ibis at Marloes Mere, Pembrokeshire. |
