| Britain's fifth Cretzschmar's Bunting was discovered on Fair Isle, Shetland
mid afternoon, where it was seen briefly by just a few observers. This is the third
record for the island, and the county, following birds in 1967 and 1979, with
the other two records coming from nearby Orkney in 2008 and 1998. Perhaps rarer
still, a male Caspian Stonechat was also on Fair Isle this evening, and the
Eastern Subalpine Warbler also remained on the island.
Further south, a Little Bunting was at Holme NWT, Norfolk briefly, and single Red-rumped Swallows were at Steyning, Sussex and Marazion, Cornwall. A White-billed Diver was also in Shetland, off West Burra. Lingering rarities still present today included the Collared Pratincole in Devon, Pied-billed Grebe in Clyde, Franklin's Gull in Carmarthenshire and Glamorgan, two Black-winged Stilts and a Blue-winged Teal in Kent, King Eider in Fife and Two-barred Crossbill in Norfolk. |
