| The highlight of the day was a Black-headed Bunting found this evening on Skomer, Pembrokeshire. Other discoveries included
Rustic Buntings in Argyll, Orkney Isles and Shetland Isles, Black Storks over Greater Manchester and Lincolnshire, three
Black-winged Stilts together in Dorset, Black Kite in Borders and Northumberland, and a
Marbled Duck on the Isle of Wight. The Terek Sandpiper lingered overnight at Covenham Reservoir, Lincolnshire, but departed mid morning. Elsewhere, Caspian Stonechat and two Subalpine Warblers remained on Fair Isle, as did a Red-rumped Swallow on the Shetland Isles, Two-barred Crossbill in Norfolk, King Eider in Aberdeenshire, and pairs of Black-winged Stilt in both Kent and West Sussex. Scarcities included Woodchat Shrike (Isles of Scilly), Marsh Warbler (Lincolnshire), Purple Heron (Suffolk), Hoopoe (Ayrshire), Wryneck (Northumberland), Pectoral Sandpiper (Lincolnshire), American Wigeon (Aberdeenshire), Bluethroat and Common Rosefinch (Shetland Isles), two each of Surf Scoter and migrant Dotterel, three each of White-winged Black Tern (together on the Western Isles), Golden Oriole and Red-backed Shrike, 11 Temminck's Stints, and 48 Long-tailed Skuas (Orkney Isles). |
