| A Wilson's Petrel past Baile na hAbhainn, County Galway was perhaps
the surprise of the day, with Ireland also hosting a new Ortolan Bunting,
at Mizen Head, County Cork. New American waders in the north-west included a
Long-billed Dowitcher and an American Golden Plover on North Uist,
another American Golden Plover on South Uist, Western Isles, and yet
another on Loch Ryan, Dumfries and Galloway. A Richardson's Canada Goose
reappeared on Islay, Argyll, where it joined yesterday's Lesser Canada Goose.
Further south a Glossy Ibis flew over Bosley Reservoir, Cheshire.
In County Cork the Myrtle Warbler remained on Dursey Island, whilst the Swainson's Thrush on Barra relocated to Brevig, where it was trapped and ringed this afternoon. The Short-billed Dowitcher continued its stay at Lodmoor, Dorset, with other lingering rarities including Lanceolated Warbler, Hornemann's Arctic Redpoll, Siberian Stonechat, American Buff-bellied Pipit and American Golden Plover in Shetland, Western Bonelli's Warbler in the Isles of Scilly, Pallid Harrier in Yorkshire, Forster's Tern in County Louth, Lesser Scaup and Ferruginous Duck in Somerset, Long-billed Dowitcher in Gloucestershire, American Golden Plover in Argyll and Glossy Ibis in Pembrokeshire. |
