| The highlight of the day was a Pallas's Grasshopper Warbler trapped and ringed at Titchfield Haven,
Hampshire, although it was not seen after release. Elsewhere, rarities comprised a Lesser Grey Shrike new in Suffolk at Hollesley Marshes, Lesser Yellowlegs in both County Donegal and Hampshire, and a Blue-winged Teal (or hybrid) in Northumberland at Castle Island. The Stilt Sandpiper remained in County Dublin, as did the Laughing Gull in County Cork. Scarcities included 35 Wrynecks, 22 Barred Warblers, 16 Pectoral Sandpipers, nine Red-backed Shrikes, seven Common Rosefinches, four Dotterel, two each of Ortolan Bunting, Rose-coloured Starling, Temminck's Stint and Cattle Egret, and single Buff-breasted Sandpiper (County Wexford), Red-necked Phalarope (Cheshire), Marsh Warbler (Dorset), Red-breasted Flycatcher (Lincolnshire), Lapland Bunting (Western Isles), Short-toed Lark and Icterine Warbler (Shetland Isles). Significant late news concerned confirmation that the Snowy Owl was still present on 3rd September on the Moray/Aberdeenshire border at Ben Macdui, where it has been present - but suppressed - since 19th May. |
