The Wilson's Warbler remained in a garden at the west end of Dursey Island in County Cork throughout the day and, although it continued to be elusive, it was seen by a number of birders who had made the long journey westwards for it. In Hampshire, however, there was no such luck with the Brown Shrike at Hook-with-Warsash, which was not seen at all today. In County Kerry the Elegant Tern was again on the Shannon Estuary. A Semipalmated Sandpiper was seen briefly this a'noon at Hoylake on the Wirral, a Blyth's Reed Warbler was a new find on Foula in the Shetlands and a Lesser Scaup was found at Bryn Bach Country Park in Gwent. Further new rarities were an Ortolan Bunting, which flew over Hayling Island in Hampshire, a second American Golden Plover at Tacumshin in County Wexford and an Arctic Redpoll on Mainland Shetland. A Fea's Petrel was reported from the Fishguard to Rosslare Ferry and a male Red-footed Falcon was reported over Barnes in London. Lingering rarities included Lesser Grey Shrike in Suffolk, three Blue-winged Teals in Lincolnshire, four Two-barred Crossbills in Norfolk, American Golden Plovers in Northumberland, Shetland, Orkney, County Wexford and County Clare, Lesser Yellowlegs in Devon, County Galway and County Wexford, Baird's Sandpiper in County Kerry, Semipalmated Sandpiper in County Wexford, Bonaparte's Gull in Devon and Laughing Gull on Orkney. |
