| The Scottish Islands had a outstanding day with, in Argyll a Collared Flycather
on Tiree, Rustic Bunting on Iona, and Bee-eater on Mull, on the Western Isles a
Blyth's Reed Warbler on North Uist, on the Orkney Isles an Alpine Swift
still at Birsay, and on the Shetland Isles Blyth's Reed Warbler and
Caspian Stonechat on Fair Isle, and Rustic Buntings at both Pool of Virkie and Out Skerries. Across the archipelagos, scarcity totals comprised six
Red-backed Shrikes, two each of Icterine Warbler and Common
Rosefinch, and singles of Short-toed Lark, Red-breasted
Flycatcher, Bluethroat, Marsh Warbler, Wryneck and Temminck's
Stint. Otherwise, a Greenish Warbler at Landguard, Suffolk was the highlight of the day, whilst four Bee-eaters and a brief Red-footed Falcon were noted in Dorset on Portland, a Blue-winged Teal was new in County Cork at Clonakilty, and both Black Stork and Black Kite overflew East Sussex. Other lingering rarities comprised the Savi's Warbler in Gwent, Lesser Scaup in Cheshire, and breeding pairs of Black-winged Stilt in both Kent and West Sussex. Away from Scotland, scarcities included three Golden Orioles, two each of both Woodchat Shrike and Common Rosefinch, and singles of White-winged Black Tern and Red-breasted Flycatcher (Northumberland), Red-backed Shrike (East Yorkshire), Serin (Isle of Wight), and Pectoral Sandpiper (Gwent). |
