| Belated news came of a probable Snowy Owl reported at St. Buryan in
west Cornwall yesterday. It was seen in flight over fields south of the village
briefly.
The rest of the rarity news was all of long staying birds. Top attraction was still the Blyth's Pipit in West Yorkshire, which showed well once or twice today. Elsewhere the Bonaparte's Gull was still at Dawlish Warren in Devon, and wildfowl consisted of the Ferruginous Duck at Blashford in Hampshire, Lesser Scaups in Ayrshire and Lothian and the Richardson's Cackling Goose on the Outer Hebrides. On Scilly the Eastern Black Redstart remained on St.Mary's. The Barred Warbler remained at Portland in Dorset, a total of seven Pomarine Skuas flew past Kent, Lincolnshire, Yorkshire, Fife and Angus, Shorelarks were in Suffolk, Lincolnshire and Lancashire and Great Grey Shrikes were in Northumberland, Norfolk, Lancashire, Derbyshire and Hampshire. There were also nine Rough-legged Buzzards, seven Great White and three Cattle Egrets and four American Wigeons. |
