Friday 30th August 2013  
  The first proper wave of American waders appeared today, with a Baird's Sandpiper, three Semipalmated Sandpipers and an American Golden Plover at Tacumshin, County Wexford, and other Semipalmated Sandpipers on Loch Ordais, Lewis, Western Isles and Shannon Airport Lagoon, County Clare. A Greenish Warbler was also in County Wexford, on Great Saltee Island, and late news concerned a Citrine Wagtail yesterday at Abbotsbury, Dorset, and a smart juvenile Pallid Harrier on Sunday at Cape Wrath, Highland.

Lingering rarities seen today included the Wilson's Phalarope in County Antrim, single Two-barred Crossbills in Norfolk and Yorkshire, Greenish Warblers in County Durham and Shetland, Citrine Wagtails in Shetland and Scilly (two), and two Ferruginous Ducks and a Glossy Ibis in Somerset.
