| The highlight of the day was the first Fea's Petrel off the year, noted passing Mizen Head, County Cork mid morning. Other notable seabirds recorded today included at least two
Wilson's Petrels and four Cory's Shearwaters around the Isles of Scilly, two
Great and one Cory's Shearwater off County Cork, with further Cory's
off Cornwall (2), Devon and County Galway. Lingering rarities comprised the Ferruginous Duck still in Somerset, and single Glossy Ibises in each of County Cork, Somerset and Suffolk. Scarce migrants included Red-backed Shrike (London), Pectoral Sandpiper (both Essex and Northumberland), and White Stork (three together in Somerset). The suspected Hudsonian Godwit found yesterday at Frodsham Marsh, Cheshire, showed again and proved to be a Black-tailed Godwit with a colour aberration. |
