| The record of the day was the astounding news of four Long-billed
Dowitchers flying over Annesley Pit Top in Nottinghamshire. Duos have
appeared in Britain on eight previous occasions, but the only group larger than
this was in Ireland: a flock of five at Rahasane Turlough, County Galway in
1963. Single Little Buntings and Greenish Warblers were discovered
in both Northumberland and the Isles of Scilly, with the only other rarity being
a Forster's Tern at Dundalk, County Louth.
Lingering rarities were the Pallid Harrier in Shetland, Lesser Yellowlegs in Hampshire and the Blue-winged Teal (or hybrid) in Northumberland. It was a superb day for scarce migrants, mainly on the east coast, with totals of 34 Red-breasted Flycatchers, 18 Wrynecks, 16 Barred Warblers, 16 Yellow-browed Warblers, four Common Rosefinches, five Red-backed Shrikes, two Great Grey Shrikes, four Honey Buzzards, three Dotterel, two Corncrakes, two Lapland Buntings, a Marsh Warbler and a Hoopoe. |
