| The highlight of the day was the discovery of a Semipalmated Sandpiper on Tiree, Argyll. Elsewhere, other Nearctic waders included a Lesser Yellowlegs
in Cornwall at Kingsmill Lake, and a Wilson's Phalarope in County Cork at Kinsale Marsh, although both of these birds may have been present nearby in recent days. Lingering rarities confirmed as still present were the Spanish Sparrow in Suffolk, American Black Tern in Merseyside, Forster's Tern in County Louth, Snowy Owl in County Donegal, Arctic Warblers in both East Yorkshire and the Shetland Isles, Citrine Wagtails in both the Scilly Isles and the Shetland Isles, Bonaparte's Gull in County Durham, Blue-winged Teal in Clyde, Long-billed Dowitcher in Gloucestershire, Lesser Scaup in Somerset, and single Glossy Ibises in both Cambridgeshire and Lancashire. Scarcities included 15 Pectoral Sandpipers, five Buff-breasted Sandpipers, four Barred Warblers, three each of Spotted Crake, Wryneck and Sabine's Gull, two each of Common Rosefinch and Long-tailed Skua, and single Melodious Warbler (Devon), Rose-coloured Starling (Ceredigion) and Purple Heron (Cambridgeshire). |
