The highlight of the day was confirmation of a Western Bonelli's Warbler lingering in West Sussex. Other Mediterranean rarities comprised single
Whiskered Terns in both Gloucestershire and Somerset (perhaps the same bird),
Western Subalpine Warblers in Gwynedd, Lincolnshire and Pembrokeshire, Pallid Swift on the Isles of Scilly, and the possible Ashy-headed Wagtail
still in Devon. Associated scarcities were Woodchat Shrikes in Cornwall, Gwynedd, Pembrokeshire, Isles of Scilly (2) and Somerset,
Golden Orioles in Anglesey, Devon, County Galway and the Isles of Scilly,
Serin in Suffolk, and a Hoopoe remained in County Waterford. Other, lingering, rarities confirmed as still present were the Harlequin Duck still on the Western Isles, Pied-billed Grebe in Somerset, Long-billed Dowitcher in Lincolnshire, Little Bunting in County Durham, Ferruginous Duck in Suffolk, two White-billed Divers in Aberdeenshire, Glossy Ibis in Pembrokeshire, and Lesser Scaups in Cleveland, Lancashire and Nottinghamshire. |
