| A Black-and-White Warbler was discovered in the Funzie Willows on
Fetlar, Shetland today, and was still present this evening, when news was
released. This is the second earliest autumn Black-and-White Warbler to reach
Britain, after one was found dead in Cornwall on 1st September 1982.
The Farne Islands in Northumberland produced their second Mega alert in as many days, when their second Fea's Petrel of the year flew north through Inner Sound early afternoon. The Yellow-breasted Bunting remained on Brownsman, but the poor weather prevented any boats from sailing. Other new discoveries today included a Western Bonelli's Warbler on Blakeney Point, Norfolk, an Arctic Warbler on Fair Isle, Shetland, a Black Kite over Lower Farm GP, Berkshire and single Semipalmated Sandpipers at Keyhaven, Hampshire and on Tiree, Argyll. Lingering rarities included the Stilt Sandpiper in Cheshire, two Semipalmated Sandpipers in County Wexford, White-rumped Sandpiper in Northumberland, American Golden Plover in Argyll, Ortolan Bunting in Dorset, Two-barred Crossbill in Yorkshire, Snowy Owl in County Donegal, Lesser Scaup in Greater Manchester and Ferruginous Duck and Glossy Ibis in Somerset. |
