| Unfortunately there was no sign today of the Mongolian Sand Plover in
County Cork. Yet more Two-barred Crossbills were found today, with three new birds on Foula on the Shetlands, where there were still singles at Sumburgh, on Mainland, and on board a ship to the west of the islands. At least two birds were also still to be found at Lynford Arboretum in Norfolk. A Lesser Yellowlegs was discovered this afternoon at Pennington Marshes in Hampshire and a Black Stork was reported flying over Ilkeston in Derbyshire. The Caspian Tern remained faithful to Rudyard Lake in Staffordshire and Acre Nook Sand Quarry in Cheshire and the Gull-billed Tern was still on south Mainland, Shetland. Both the Long-billed Dowitcher and the Lesser Yellowlegs were seen at Llanelli in South Wales, but the Yellowlegs was only seen in the morning. Other long-staying rarities included the Glossy Ibis in Pembrokeshire, at least two Little Bitterns in Somerset and the Bonaparte's Gull in Lancashire. Amongst the wader passage, there were notable numbers of Wood Sandpipers with over 80 being reported during the day. |
