| Whilst not the rarest bird of the day, an Olive-backed Pipit at Spurn,
East Yorkshire was probably the highlight. Despite being elusive at times, great
views could be had throughout the day, made even better when it was trapped and
ringed early evening. This is, perhaps surprisingly, the second Olive-backed
Pipit to be ringed at Spurn, following one in 1981.
Other new discoveries included a Red-eyed Vireo at Dunquin, County Kerry, a Siberian Stonechat at Trimley, Suffolk, a Snowy Owl near Ardara, County Donegal, a Greenish Warbler near Campbeltown, Argyll and an American Golden Plover at Eoropie, Western Isles. New arrivals on Shetland included an Arctic Warbler and Blyth's Reed Warbler on Unst and Little Buntings on Fair Isle and Mainland. Lingering rarity highlights included the Hudsonian Whimbrel, Pechora Pipit, Arctic Warbler, Eastern Subalpine Warbler, Western Bonelli's Warbler, Blyth's Reed Warbler and Lesser Yellowlegs on Shetland, Isabelline Wheatear in Pembrokeshire, Sardinian Warbler in Borders, Western Bonelli's Warbler in County Cork, Black-winged Stilt in Cornwall and Two-barred Crossbill in Norfolk. |
