| The highlight of the day was a pale morph Booted Eagle that flew south over Donington on Bain, Lincolnshire. Later in the day, belated news was received of a pale morph Booted Eagle arriving in off the sea at Bracklesham Bay, West Sussex on 9th August. Since a pale morph Booted Eagle toured Ireland then Britain between at least 5th March 1999 and 22nd June 2000 (but was not accepted as a wild bird), an escaped dark morph Booted Eagle was taken into care in Glamorgan on 16th November 2008, and single Booted Eagles have been suspected in at least Devon (August 2001), Kent (December 2002 and September 2007), Cornwall (October 2005), Essex (May 2010), Suffolk (May and June 2010), Hampshire (June 2010), Lincolnshire (April 2011), Shetland Isles (April 2012), and Norfolk (July 2013). In Highland a Wilson's Phalarope was new on the Isle of Syke. Lingering rarities comprised Swinhoe's Petrel and Citrine Wagtail on the Shetland Isles, Bridled Tern in Northumberland, seven Two-barred Crossbills together in West Yorkshire, Blue-winged Teal in Cambridgeshire, Ferruginous Duck in Somerset, and Glossy Ibis in Pembrokeshire. A Fea's Petrel passing Bridges of Ross, County Clare headlined the seawatching, with Cory's Shearwaters in County Clare, off County Kerry (2) and the Isles of Scilly, and Great Shearwaters in County Clare (94), County Kerry (109) and the Isles of Scilly. |
