| The highlight of the day was the continued presence of the Short-billed Dowitcher in Dorset at Lodmoor, where it remained throughout the day. Elsewhere, four new American Golden Plovers were discovered; on Anglesey at Malltraeth, Lancashire at Cockersand, Orkney Isles on North Ronaldsay, and on St Mary's, Isles of Scilly. In Dorset an Ortolan Bunting at Hengistbury Head was but a brief encounter. Lingering rarities confirmed as still present the Baird's Sandpiper in Cleveland, Semipalmated Sandpipers in both Argyll and the Western Isles, Wilson's Phalarope in County Cork, Long-billed Dowitcher in Gloucestershire, Lesser Yellowlegs in Cornwall, American Golden Plover on the Western Isles, Arctic Warbler on the Shetland Isles, Citrine Wagtail on the Isles of Scilly, Lesser Scaup in Somerset, and single Glossy Ibises in both Pembrokeshire and County Wexford. Scarcities included 16 Pectoral Sandpipers, 10 Lapland Buntings, six each of both Buff-breasted Sandpiper and Wryneck, four Barred Warblers, three Sabine's Gulls, two Common Rosefinches, and single Red-backed Shrike (Devon), Red-necked Phalarope (Lincolnshire), Spotted Crake (Cornwall), Long-tailed Skua (Kent), Great Shearwater (County Clare) and Ring-billed Gull (County Down). |
