| Two new Mega rarities were discovered today, the most widely appreciated of
which was a Black-winged Pratincole in County Durham. Found mid morning
and still present at dusk, it showed well at Hurworth Burn Reservoir. A
Black-browed Albatross flew east past Portland Bill, Dorset at 7am, and was seen
from a boat off Durlston Country Park an hour and a half later.
Lingering rarities seen today included the Short-toed Eagle in Hampshire, Ross's Gull in Devon and Laughing Gull in County Cork. Scarcity highlights involved a Hoopoe, a Rose-coloured Starling, a Red-backed Shrike, a Pectoral Sandpiper, a Grey Phalarope, a Temminck's Stint, two Marsh Warblers and two Glossy Ibises. |
