| A pair of Hooded Mergansers were discovered on Tory Island, County
Donegal this morning. If accepted, they would be the fourth and fifth
individuals for the Republic of Ireland, following one off Ballylongford, Kerry
in 1881 and two in Cork Harbour in 1878. Another was in County Armagh, Northern
Ireland in 1957.
Back in Britain, a Rustic Bunting was found on Fair Isle, Shetland, the first to arrive following the species' recent upgrade to BBRC rarity. Lingering rarities included the Moltoni's Subalpine Warbler and Tawny Pipit in Shetland, Greater Yellowlegs and Bonaparte's Gull in Hampshire, Harlequin Duck and King Eider in Aberdeenshire, Squacco Heron in the Isles of Scilly and Bee-eater in County Mayo. |
