| An orange-billed tern was present at Beale, County Kerry from mid afternoon,
and was eventually identified as an Elegant Tern. This is the first
record of the species in Ireland since 2005, when one was seen at Gormanston,
County Meath on 19th July.
The best of the rest was a totally unexpected Great Reed Warbler found in a mist net on Salisbury Plain, the first record for Wiltshire. The other new passerines today were two Arctic Warblers, one on Dursey Island, County Cork and one on Fair Isle, Shetland. New waders included a Baird's Sandpiper in County Dublin, two Semipalmated Sandpipers in County Kerry and two in County Wexford, where there was also at least two American Golden Plovers. Lingering rarities included the Pied-billed Grebe in County Mayo, Western Bonelli's Warbler on Shetland, six Two-barred Crossbills in Yorkshire (with one in Norfolk), Citrine Wagtail in Cornwall, single Lesser Yellowlegs' in Devon and Carmarthenshire, Semipalmated Sandpiper in Kent, two Baird's Sandpipers on the Western Isles, White-rumped Sandpiper in Cornwall, Lesser Scaup in Greater Manchester, two Ferruginous Ducks in Somerset and a Glossy Ibis in Somerset. |
