Britain's third Short-toed Eagle was discovered at Morden Bog, Dorset
at 10am. Sitting in a pine for just ten minutes it then flew east, but was seen
again in flight nearby at 2.30pm. Late afternoon it returned to the pines, and
became the second twitchable Short-toed Eagle ever, being present until dusk.
Other new discoveries today included a Whiskered Tern at Topsham, Devon (joining the long staying Ross's Gull), a Blyth's Reed Warbler near Girdle Ness, Aberdeenshire, a Pallid Swift over Spurn, Yorkshire and single Black Storks over Dawlish, Devon and Kenilworth, Warwickshire. Black Kites were seen over St Ann's Head, Pembrokeshire and Brenchley, Kent, whilst Bee-eaters were at East Prawle, Devon and Pig Bush, Hampshire. Other lingering rarity highlights included the Black-headed Bunting in Norfolk, Caspian Stonechat in Shetland, Savi's Warblers in Gwent and Aberdeenshire and Bonaparte's Gull in Surrey. |
