| The highlight of the day was the discovery of a Booted Warbler on St Agnes, Isles of Scilly, with, around the islands, a supporting cast of two
Serins, Richard's Pipit, Spotted Crake, and three each of both
Ring-necked Duck and Yellow-browed Warbler. Meanwhile, on the Shetland Isles a
Dusky Warbler arrived at Sumburgh, whilst Lanceolated Warbler, Hornemann's Arctic Redpoll
and two Olive-backed Pipits remained around the archipelago. New rarities elsewhere comprised a Siberian Stonechat in East Sussex at Birling Gap, a Lesser Yellowlegs in Devon at Plymouth, a Northern Harrier in County Wexford at Tacumshin, an American Golden Plover in County Donegal at Inch Lake, and a report of three Red-rumped Swallows briefly in Lothian. Lingering rarities confirmed as still present today were the Eastern Olivaceous Warbler in Fife, single Radde's Warblers in both Angus and Fife, Dusky Warbler in County Galway, Subalpine Warbler in Dorset, Hornemann's Arctic Redpolls in the Orkney Isles and the Western Isles, Red-breasted Goose in Kent, Black Duck in County Mayo, Bonaparte's Gull in Pembrokeshire, Long-billed Dowitcher in Gloucestershire, Lesser Yellowlegs in both County Dublin and County Kerry, White-rumped Sandpiper in Norfolk, American Golden Plovers in both County Cork and the Orkney Isles, Lesser Scaup in Glamorgan, and at least one Small Canada Goose in Argyll. |
