| A Lesser Grey Shrike at Biggleswade Common, Bedfordshire was, perhaps
surprisingly, not a first for the county, as one was picked up dead by the River
Ouse on the unlikely date of 25th January 1907. An Eastern Subalpine Warbler
was discovered at Porthgwarra, Cornwall, and both a Fea's Petrel and a
Wilson's Petrel was off a boat off Galley Head, County Cork. The Isles of
Scilly produced a new Tawny Pipit on St Agnes, with Shetland adding a
Western Bonelli's Warbler and four more Olive-backed Pipits to their
autumn tally. A Little Bunting was on nearby Orkney, at St Margaret's
Hope on South Ronaldsay.
Lingering rarity highlights included the Little Crake in Suffolk, Solitary Sandpiper in County Wexford, Steppe Grey Shrike in Norfolk, Tawny Pipit in Sussex, King Eider in Moray, Blue-winged Teal (or hybrid) in Northumberland and three more Olive-backed Pipits and five more Little Buntings in the Northern Isles. The Shorelark which has been present at Askernish, South Uist, Western Isles since yesterday is now thought likely to be a nominate American Horned Lark. |
