| The highlight of the day was the discovery of both Lanceolated Warbler and Hornemann's Arctic Redpoll
on North Ronaldsay, Orkney Isles, with, nearby, an Olive-backed Pipit on Westray. Other new rarities comprised a
Greenish Warbler in County Cork at Three Castles Head, and a White-rumped Sandpiper
and Red-rumped Swallow in Norfolk between Cley and Salthouse. On the Isles of Scilly the Solitary Sandpiper and Hume's Yellow-browed Warbler remained on St Mary's, with three each of Ring-necked Duck and Yellow-browed Warbler, Barred Warbler and Richard's Pipit around the islands. On the Shetland Isles a Lanceolated Warbler continued, with Hume's Yellow-browed Warbler, Olive-backed Pipit, Great Grey Shrike and the Lesser Spotted Woodpecker. Elsewhere, lingering rarities confirmed as still present were the Eastern Olivaceous Warbler in Fife, Tawny Pipit in East Yorkshire, Little Bunting on the Orkney Isles, Red-breasted Goose in Kent, two Spotted Sandpipers together in County Clare, Lesser Yellowlegs in County Dublin, Long-billed Dowitchers in both Cheshire and Gloucestershire, American Golden Plovers in both County Clare and the Orkney Isles, Lesser Scaup in Somerset, four Glossy Ibises in Cornwall, and the Azorean Yellow-legged Gull in Leicestershire. |
