| The highlight of the day was the Mongolian Sand Plover that remained in County Cork, showing into the evening at
Ballymacoda. Other lingering rarities comprised the Black Duck still in County Kerry,
Gull-billed Tern on the Shetland Isles, Caspian Tern commuting between Cheshire and Staffordshire,
Spotted Sandpiper in Northumberland, Bonaparte's Gulls in both Kent and Lancashire,
Glossy Ibis in Pembrokeshire, and two Little Bitterns in Somerset. New arrivals included a Long-billed Dowitcher in Carmarthenshire - where it joined the long-staying Lesser Yellowlegs at the National Wetlands Centre- three Two-barred Crossbills on the Shetland Isles, a Lesser Yellowlegs in Dumfries and Galloway at Stranraer, a brief Caspian Tern in Hampshire, and a fly-over Black Kite in Northamptonshire. Scarcities included Cattle Egret (Kent), Pectoral Sandpiper (Cleveland) and Ring-necked Duck (North Yorkshire), whilst seawatching produced Great Shearwater (Cornwall) and Long-tailed Skuas (County Cork and Devon). |
