| Fair Isle in Shetland took the accolade as today's hot spot with a
Paddyfield Warbler trapped, ringed and released in the observatory garden
where it was joined by the long-staying River Warbler, two Marsh
Warblers and a Reed Warbler for good measure. Hot on it's heels came
Tacumshin in County Wexford, with an eclipse drake Blue-winged Teal, two
immature Glossy Ibises, a Savi's Warbler and a Montagu's
Harrier.
In Norfolk a Squacco Heron was found on the Ouse Washes at Welney and in Gwynedd, a Greenish Warbler was trapped and ringed on Bardsey Island. A new Alpine Swift flew over Blakeney Point and then Walsey Hills in Norfolk but did not linger, unlike the Alpine Swift in Yorkshire which spent it's second day along the cliffs near Bempton. The Black Scoter was again in the scoter flocks off the Aberdeenshire coast at Blackdog, and Glossy Ibises were still to be found at Marloes Mere in Pembrokes and Pagham Harbour in West Sussex. An unseasonal adult Sabine's Gull flew past Copt Point at Folkestone in Kent, a Purple Heron was at Grove Ferry, also in Kent, and the long staying Serin was again seen at Landguard Point in Suffolk. |
