| Seabirds once again took the headlines today, the highlight being a Fea's
Petrel off this evening's pelagic out of the Isles of Scilly. Perhaps
surprisingly, this is the first Fea's Petrel seen in Scilly waters since 2004. A
Barolo Shearwater was also seen at sea, around 85 miles west of Dursey
Island, County Cork.
Other new rarities included two Black Storks in Wiltshire, together at Stoke Farthing, and a drake Ferruginous Duck in Somerset at Chew Valley Lake. Lingering rarities included the Roller in Norfolk, Gull-billed Tern in County Wexford, Blue-winged Teal in Cambridgeshire, Black Duck in County Cork and Long-billed Dowitcher in Hampshire. |
