| Classic fall conditions on the east coast brought more classic early autumn
migrants today. Rarest was the Booted Warbler on Blakeney Point, Norfolk
(with one at Hadston Carrs, Northumberland for a second day). Greenish
Warblers provided most of the rest of the rarity news, with birds on
Brownsman, Northumberland, Tarbat Ness and Lybster, both Highland, and Bridge of
Don, Loirston Country Park, Boddom and Collieston, all Aberdeenshire. Single
Citrine Wagtails were at Quendale, Shetland and Porth Hellick, Scilly.
Lingering rarities included single Greenish Warblers at Sumburgh Head and on Foula, Shetland, single Citrine Wagtails in Cornwall and County Kerry, another Citrine Wagtail and a Lesser Yellowlegs in County Wexford, another Lesser Yellowlegs in Carmarthenshire and four Two-barred Crossbills in Yorkshire. Scarcity highlights included eight Barred Warblers, nine Icterine Warblers, nine Red-backed Shrikes, 31 Wrynecks, two Common Rosefinches, a Hoopoe, at least two Spotted Crakes, five Great Shearwaters, four Cory's Shearwaters, four Sabine's Gulls, three Long-tailed Skuas, four Dotterel, two Red-necked Phalaropes, two Temminck's Stints, three Pectoral Sandpipers, four Buff-breasted Sandpipers and two Ring-necked Ducks. |
