| The highlight of the day was a Collared Flycatcher on Fair Isle, where the
Caspian Stonechat remained alongside a Common Rosefinch and six Red-backed
Shrikes. Elswehere on the Shetland Isles, Blyth's Reed Warblers were found on both Out Skerries and Whalsay, with
Icterine Warbler, Marsh Warbler, Common Rosefinch, Wryneck, Glossy Ibis
and two Red-backed Shrikes scattered around the archipelago. Elsewhere, new discoveries included a Black-headed Bunting in Norfolk at West Runton, with a Eastern Subalpine Warbler on Blakeney Point, a Blyth's Reed Warbler in Kent at Dungeness, Subalpine Warbler in East Yorkshire at Spurn, Black-winged Stilt in County Offaly, and a Bee-eater on the Isle of Wight. Lingering rarities comprised four Bee-eaters still in Dorset, a pair of Black-winged Stilts in West Sussex, Savi's Warbler in Gwent, White-billed Diver in Highland, King Eider in Aberdeenshire and Lesser Scaup in Cheshire. Away from the Shetland Isles, scarce migrants included 19 Red-backed Shrikes, four Icterine Warblers, two each of both Common Rosefinch and Cattle Egret, and single Red-breasted Flycatcher (Dorset), Marsh Warbler (Argyll), Woodchat Shrike (Cleveland), Golden Oriole (Isle of Wight), Purple Heron (Cornwall), Pectoral Sandpiper (Gwent), Grey-headed Wagtail and migrant Montagu's Harrier (both Suffolk). |
