| Hornemann's Arctic Redpoll is an extremely rare bird away from the
northern and western Scottish islands, so one at Holkham in Norfolk will be very
popular if it lingers for a third day. Despite there being just eight English
records, this is the third for Norfolk, following two at Wells in October 1972.
The other Hornemann's Arctic Redpoll found today was in the rather more
predictable location of Ellister, Shetland. New Siberian Stonechats were
found in Herefordshire (Wellington GPs) and Devon (Mid Soar), with also late
news of a suppressed bird at Eccles, Norfolk recently.
Other new discoveries included a Desert Wheatear at West Lulworth, Dorset, a White-billed Diver at Whitburn, County Durham, a Penduline Tit at Minsmere RSPB, Suffolk, a second Olive-backed Pipit at Easington, Yorkshire and a Little Bunting on Tresco, Isles of Scilly. Lingering rarities confirmed as still present included the Siberian Rubythroat on Fair Isle, Eastern Olivaceous Warbler in Fife, Northern Harrier in County Wexford, Daurian Shrike in Dorset, Red-breasted Goose and two Richardson's Canada Geese in Argyll, Bonaparte's Gulls in Devon and County Durham, Penduline Tit on the Isles of Scilly, Lesser Yellowlegs' in Devon, Lancashire and County Kerry, White-rumped Sandpipers in Norfolk and County Wexford, Long-billed Dowitcher in Gloucestershire and Red-throated Pipit in Cornwall. |
