| The highlight of the day was a Crag Martin in East Yorkshire, present at Flamborough Head for just under four hours before it flew off west in the early afternoon. The
ninth British record of Crag Martin, but only the second that has proved in any way
twitchable; the fiest twitchable being the individual that visited Leicestershire then West Yorkshire
on 17th-18th April 1999. The first Tawny Pipit of the year in Britain
and Ireland was discovered at the same site. Otherwise, rarities comprised two Black-winged Stilts together new-in in Essex at Bowers Marsh, the Forster's Tern again in County Galway, the American Coot still in Highland, Hume's Yellow-browed Warbler in Kent, Dusky Warbler in Suffolk, Lesser Yellowlegs and Long-billed Dowitcher in Hampshire, and Two-barred Crossbills in Greater Manchester, Surrey and South Yorkshire (5). Scarcities included three Hoopoes (County Cork, Dumfries and Galloway, and Kent), Serin (Western Isles), White-tailed Eagle (North Yorkshire), Dotterel (Lancashire), Ring-necked Duck (Cambridgeshire), Surf Scoter and Pectoral Sandpiper (both Devon). Significant late news concerned a Snowy Owl found yesterday in Angus on Glas Maol. |
