| The highlight of the day was the discovery of a Cretzschmar's Bunting on Bardsey, Gwynedd, albeit only present there briefly: the sixth British record, but the first away from the Northern Isles. Equal excitement in Argyll where a Cedar Waxwing briefly visited on Tiree, the sixth record in the British Isles - although the second for that island - and the seventh Nearctic landbird to be found here since the 11th May. Rarities elsewhere comprised the Hudsonian Whimbrel still in West Sussex, Swainson's Thrush in Pembrokeshire, Greater Yellowlegs in Hampshire, Collared Pratincole in Suffolk, Broad-billed Sandpiper and White-rumped Sandpiper together in Lincolnshire, Squacco Heron in Cornwall, King Eider in both Aberdeenshire and the Shetland Isles, a Black Stork over Staffordshire, a Black Kite over Warwickshire, and Bee-eaters in East Yorkshire (6), Merseyside, Shetland Isles and Somerset (6). Scarcities included Icterine Warbler (Aberdeenshire), Short-toed Lark (Aberdeenshire), Marsh Warbler (Norfolk), Serin (Dorset), two Golden Orioles, three each of both Red-backed Shrike and migrant Red-necked Phalaropes, and four Common Rosefinches. |
