| The highlight of the day was the relocation of the Myrtle Warbler - seen yesterday on North Ronaldsay,
Orkney Isles - on Unst, Shetland Isles; 110 miles to the northeast. Elsewhere, discoveries included
single Spotted Sandpipers in both Oxfordshire at both Farmoor Reservoir and in Warwickshire at Draycote Water, a
Western Subalpine Warbler on the Shetland Isles on Unst, and at least one
Red-rumped Swallow over Gibraltar Point, Lincolnshire. Lingering rarities confirmed as still present comprised the Caspian Stonechat on the Shetland Isles, Whiskered Tern in County Cork, Black Kite on the Isles of Scilly, White-billed Diver in Moray, and two Two-barred Crossbills in South Yorkshire. Scarcities included 25 migrant Dotterel, six Glossy Ibises, four Temminck's Stints, two each of both Ring-necked Duck and Cattle Egret, a Pectoral Sandpiper (Northumberland), Ring-billed Gull (Western Isles), Surf Scoter and Rough-legged Buzzard (both Lothian), with Ortolan Bunting, Short-toed Lark and Golden Oriole all on the Isles of Scilly. Significant late news concerned the reidentification of the reported singing male Western Bonelli's Warbler at Newbiggin-by-the-Sea, Northumberland on 3rd May as an Eastern Bonelli's Warbler: only the sixth British record. |
