| The highlight of the day was the discovery of a Lesser Grey Shrike on St Mary's, Isles of Scilly. Elsewhere, a
White-rumped Sandpiper was a new arrival in County Wicklow at Kilcoole. Lingering rarities confirmed as still present comprised the Broad-billed Sandpiper in Cleveland, Baird's Sandpiper and Glossy Ibis both in Pembrokeshire, Long-billed Dowitcher in Gloucestershire, American Golden Plover in Cambridgeshire, Ortolan Bunting on the Orkney Isles, and Ferruginous Duck in Suffolk. Scarcities included nine Barred Warblers, five Wrynecks, four White Storks, and Woodchat Shrike (Dorset), Red-backed Shrike (Orkney Isles), Purple Heron (Kent), Spotted Crake (Leicestershire), and Pectoral Sandpiper (North Yorkshire). Seawatching highlights came from the west coast of Ireland where four Sabine's Gulls, three Great Shearwaters and a Long-tailed Skua were noted. |
