| The first Hudsonian Godwit since 1988 was discovered at Meare Heath,
Somerset yesterday evening, and remained on view until 4.15pm today when it flew
west. The only other twitchable Hudsonian Godwit, first found in 1981, visited
both Yorkshire and Devon where it remained for several weeks, and was present
again in Yorkshire two years later for eleven days.
Further north, a Pied-billed Grebe was found at Leighton Moss RSPB, Lancashire. This is likely to be yesterday's Gloucestershire bird, of which there was no sign all day. Other new discoveries included a White-rumped Sandpiper on Papa Westray, Orkney, two separate Black Kites in Norfolk and single Red-rumped Swallows in Kent and the Isles of Scilly. Lingering rarities included the Great Blue Heron in the Isles of Scilly, Harlequin Duck in Highland and both King Eider and White-billed Diver in Aberdeenshire. |
