| The ninth Siberian Thrush for Britain was found in Shetland this
evening, where it was trapped and released at Scousburgh at dusk. Astonishingly,
it was found to be bearing a Norwegian ring, and is therefore almost certainly
the individual trapped and ringed at Husoy on 24th September.
Two Isabelline Shrikes were found today, first at Kilnsea, Yorkshire then at Warham Greens, Norfolk (which was later found to be present for its second day). Yorkshire also gained a Radde's Warbler at Easington and a Little Bunting at Flamborough, whilst Norfolk produced a Dusky Warbler at Wells. Other new discoveries included a Snowy Owl near Thurso, Highland, a Red-footed Falcon at Northwick Warth, Gloucestershire, an Olive-backed Pipit on Brownsman, Northumberland, an Alpine Swift at Dinton Pastures, Berkshire, a Dusky Warbler at Reculver, Kent, a Little Bunting on St Agnes, Isles of Scilly, a Richardson's Cackling Goose on Barra, Western Isles and a Forster's Tern at Rogerstown, County Dublin. Lingering rarity highlights included the Steppe Grey Shrike, Olive-backed Pipit and Radde's Warbler in Norfolk, Booted Warbler and Siberian Stonechat in Lothian, Subalpine Warbler in Cornwall, White-rumped Sandpiper in the Western Isles and an Olive-backed Pipit, Red-throated Pipit and two Little Buntings on Fair Isle, Shetland. |
