A White's Thrush was seen on St Agnes, Isles of Scilly, where it was
present in the Parsonage briefly early morning and again briefly at dusk. Also
present yesterday, it is debatable as to whether it is a different individual to
the one present on the same island on the 2nd and 3rd of October: either
scenario would be remarkable. A Radde's Warbler was also found on St
Agnes this afternoon, and the Subalpine Warbler remained on St Mary's.
At the opposite end of the country, the Cape May Warbler remained on Unst, Shetland, with a new Dusky Warbler at Lerwick, Mainland. The Red-flanked Bluetail also remained at Walls. Other new discoveries included a White-billed Diver off Bass Point, Cornwall, a Radde's Warbler at Titchfield Haven NNR, Hampshire, a Semipalmated Sandpiper at Ballycotton, County Cork, a Baird's Sandpiper at Fanad Head, County Donegal, a second Penduline Tit at Dungeness, Kent and a Glossy Ibis at Kilnsea, Yorkshire. A new Pallid Swift was at Flamborough Head, Yorkshire, and two were in the Overstrand, Sidestrand and Trimingham area of Norfolk (with another still lingering nearby at Cromer). Other lingering rarities seen today included the Semipalmated Plover in Hampshire, Northern Harrier in Cambridgeshire, Azorean Yellow-legged Gull in Northamptonshire, Bonaparte's Gull in Devon, Two-barred Crossbill in Kent, Sardinian Warbler in Borders, Dusky Warbler in Cleveland, Red-breasted Goose in Hampshire, three Blue-winged Teals in Lincolnshire and fifteen Glossy Ibises in six counties. |
