| The highlight of the day was the discovery of a Roller on the Orkney Isles, at Finstown, Mainland: the twelfth record for the the archipelago, but the first
there since 1966. Other rarities noted today comprised the territorial Iberian Chiffchaff still in Somerset at Porlock, Long-billed Dowitcher in Gloucestershire at Slimbridge, Glossy Ibis in County Wexford at Tacumshin, and a Snowy Owl reported on Barra, Western Isles. Scarcities included the Short-toed Lark still in Norfolk, Red-backed Shrike in Hampshire, Hoopoes in both County Cork and Wirral, and single Pectoral Sandpipers in Aberdeenshire, County Antrim and South Yorkshire. Significant late news from yesterday concerned a Caspian Tern in Suffolk at Minsmere, the Snowy Owl still in County Donegal, and the Ferruginous Duck in Somerset. |
