The headline news today concerned the re-identification of the Siberian
Stonechat on St Agnes, Isles of Scilly. Present on the island since Sunday, the
tail pattern was seen well and photographed today, confirming it as Britain's
fourth Caspian Stonechat of the form variegatus, or hemprichii.
Further north, and also present since at least Sunday, an American Robin was at South Loch Eynort, South Uist, Western Isles where it also showed very well. A Coues's Arctic Redpoll at Oxmoor LNR, Cheshire was also found last Sunday, but this one hasn't been seen since. Lingering rarities included the Western Orphean Warbler at Marloes, Pembrokeshire, Pacific Diver in Gerrans Bay, Cornwall, Lesser Grey Shrike at Long Nanny, Northumberland, Lesser Yellowlegs at Lepe Country Park, Hampshire, Two-barred Crossbill in the Forest of Dean and two Glossy Ibises at Slimbridge WWT, both Gloucestershire. |
