| Breaking mega news tonight was of a territorial male Western Orphean Warbler present in Devon by the Teign Estuary at Newton Abbot, and still singing
there this evening, although it proved elusive. First noted and sound-recorded on 22nd May, the true identity was not suspected until today. Previously, there has been a
similar record from Cornwall, where a singing male was reported near Saltash on 20th-22nd May 1991. Elsewhere, a Pallid Harrier was present briefly in Argyll near Inverary, a Bee-eater was heard in Dorset at Portland, and in Nottinghamshire a Lesser Scaup was identified at Lound. The best of rest included a Red-footed Falcon still in Cambridgeshire, Subalpine Warbler on the Shetland Isles, Glossy Ibis and Purple Heron in Pembrokeshire, Golden Oriole in County Cork, Red-necked Phalarope in Gloucestershire, Common Rosefinch and Marsh Warbler together in East Yorkshire, Red-backed Shrikes in Lincolnshire, Shetland (2) and Suffolk, and Pectoral Sandpipers in Aberdeenshire, Lincolnshire and the Orkney Isles. |
