| The highlight of the day was a brief Citrine Wagtail on North Usit, Western Isles, whilst a
Bonaparte's Gull showed in Kent at Oare Marshes, and in Norfolk a Bee-eater flew over Winterton Dunes. Lingering rarities confirmed as still present were the Paddyfield Warbler on the Orkney Isles, Snowy Owl on the Western Isles, Red-footed Falcon in Suffolk, King Eider in Aberdeenshire, White-billed Diver in County Galway and Lesser Scaup in Highland. Scarcities included seven Red-backed Shrikes, five Montagu's Harriers, four each of Temminck's Stint and Honey Buzzard, two each of Woodchat Shrike, Golden Oriole, Purple Heron, Cattle Egret and Ring-necked Duck, and single Buff-breasted Sandpiper (Argyll), Red-necked Phalarope (Gloucestershire), Serin (Kent), Marsh Warbler (Orkney Isles), Pectoral Sandpiper (Cambridgeshire), Surf Scoter (Lothian) and American Wigeon (Shetland Isles). Skua passage continued in the northwest, with 1,358 Long-tailed Skuas logged - including 1,125 passing North Uist, Western Isles - and 98 Pomarine Skuas. Significant late news concerned a male Indigo Bunting present on Monday in a garden at Llansadwrn, Anglesey, but only identified from a photograph today. |
