| The rarest bird of the day was the Grey-cheeked Thrush on Barra, Western
Isles, which was trapped and ringed at Sgaillairaidh
House, Brevig. This is the third American thrush species for the island in the
last four years, following the Swainson's Thrush last year and the Hermit Thrush
in 2010.
New arrivals on Shetland included a Wilson's Phalarope at Sand Voe and a Pechora Pipit at Toab, both Mainland, and an Isabelline Shrike on Foula, where the American Buff-bellied Pipit remained. A Dusky Warbler was very elusive at Sandy Point,, Hayling Island, Hampshire, while other new discoveries included an Ortolan Bunting at Pegwell Bay and a Black Kite at Dungeness, both Kent, a White-rumped Sandpiper at Salthouse, Norfolk and single Glossy Ibises at Wickford, Essex and Doxey Marshes, Staffordshire. Lingering rarities included the Sora on the Isles of Scilly, Isabelline Wheatear in Pembrokeshire, Pied-billed Grebe and Black Duck in County Mayo, Laughing Gull in Orkney, Two-barred Crossbill in Surrey, Blyth's Reed Warbler in Shetland, Long-billed Dowitcher in Glamorgan, Black-winged Stilt in Cornwall and single Baird's Sandpipers in County Cork, County Kerry and Gloucestershire. |
