| New rarities today all came in the form of waders along the east coast. Top
of the bill went to a Stilt Sandpiper found at Cresswell in
Northumberland and still present this evening. A Broad-billed Sandpiper
found at Gibraltar Point was not so obliging, as it disappeared late morning.
This site also held a White-rumped Sandpiper for it's second day, and
another White-rumped Sandpiper was found today at Pool of Virkie on
Mainland Shetland. In Suffolk the six Black-winged Stilts (presumably
from Cavenham) were seen in flight near Great Livermere this evening.
Other lingering rarities included the much appreciated Pacific Golden Plover in Staffordshire, Bonaparte's Gull in Kent, Laughing Gull in County Cork, family of Bee-eaters on the Isle of Wight and the Swinhoe's Petrel which was trapped yet again on Fair Isle last night. There was a Spotted Crake at Burton Mere in Cheshire that was seen with chicks this afternoon, whilst the bird at Titchwell in Norfolk was still present but played hard to get. The adult Long-tailed Skua was still at Thornham in Norfolk this morning, a Cory's Shearwater flew past Lossiemouth in Moray and Nairn and two Great Shearwaters were seen from the Scillonian Ferry. The Night Heron was still in Warwickshire and Glossy Ibises were still to be found in Lincolnshire, Cumbria and Leicestershire. |
