| An adult Sharp-tailed Sandpiper was found at Swartmill on Westray
today, which represents the first record for the Orkney Islands. In north west
Ireland, a male Snowy Owl was on Arranmore Island, County Donegal. The
bird was first seen on Wednesday, but was still present today. The female Snowy
Owl also remains on The Mullet in County Mayo.
A new Glossy Ibis was in County Kerry, at Tralee, with other singles lingering in County Wexford and Sussex. The Ferruginous Duck was still to be found at Blagdon Lake in Somerset. A moulting adult Grey Phalarope in near winter plumage spent the day at Old Moor in Yorkshire and in County Waterford the Rose-coloured Starling still entertained visitors at Dungarvan. A Temminck's Stint was found on the Ythan Estuary in Aberdeenshire, and there was a scattering of seabirds along the east coast including one or two Pomarine Skuas and a few Sooty Shearwaters. |
