| It was hard to believe that both the Wilson's Warbler and Cape May Warbler
could be trumped this autumn, but a Ruby-crowned Kinglet on Cape Clear
Island, County Cork certainly did that today. This first for Britain and Ireland
and fourth for the Western Palearctic was trapped and ringed in the Cotter's
Garden mid afternoon, but wasn't seen for long after release. With the coming
storm, it is unlikely any boats will make it across tomorrow.
In Norfolk, a Black-browed Albatross flew west past Overstrand late afternoon, having probably been seen past Hopton-on-Sea earlier. A swift with a white rump at Paston was reported as a possible Pacific Swift, although, with a White-rumped Swift in Sweden at the same time, questions may be asked. The Pallid Swift fest continued on the north-east Norfolk coast, with at least one between Cromer and Trimingham. A group of three Pallid Swifts was at Foreness Point, Kent. Other new discoveries were rather sparse, with an American Golden Plover at Newtownards, County Down, and Glossy Ibises at Gibraltar Point, Lincolnshire (two) and Hartlepool, Cleveland. Lingering rarity highlights included the Cape May Warbler in Shetland, Semipalmated Plover in Hampshire, White's Thrush and Radde's Warbler on the Isles of Scilly, Northern Harriers in Cambridgeshire and County Wexford, Sardinian Warbler in Borders and Western Bonelli's Warbler and Dusky Warbler in Cleveland. |
