| Seawatching produced the highlights today, with, in County Cork, three Fea's Petrels
and five Long-tailed Skuas passing Galley Head, and nearby a Wilson's
Petrel, 2,500 Cory's Shearwaters and 120 Great Shearwaters counted at Mizen Head. In Cornwall a
Fea's Petrel passed Porthgwarra, along with four Cory's and 24 Great
Shearwaters, with two Cory's Shearwaters off St Ives, and a Long-tailed Skua
was noted off The Lizard. A Two-barred Crossbill was seen briefly in Surrey at Redlands Wood, a Black Kite flew over Rye Street, Kent, and in Lincolnshire three Baltic Gulls were identified: two at Elsham and one at North Hykeham. Lingering rarities comprised the Gull-billed Tern and eight Two-barred Crossbills on the Shetland Isles, two Two-barred Crossbills on the Orkney Isles, Long-billed Dowitcher in Carmarthenshire, Bonaparte's Gull in Lancashire, and Glossy Ibis in Pembrokeshire. Scarcities included Rose-coloured Starling (Highland), Night Heron (Leicestershire), Spotted Crake (Northumberland), Pectoral Sandpiper (West Sussex), and 14 Great White Egrets (including eight together in Somerset). |
