| The highlight of day was a Black Stork in Northumberland at Haggerston: perhaps the same Black Stork that had been suspected in Suffolk at Wenhaston on 28th July, and seen in flight over Greatham, Cleveland yesterday.
All the other rarities discovered today were brief encounters: a Little Bittern
in Derbyshire, Black Kite in Essex, and single Bee-eaters in both Devon and Suffolk. Lingering rarities confirmed as still present were the Paddyfield Warbler
on the Shetland Isles, Red-footed Falcon in Staffordshire, and at least two
Bee-eaters at the nest in Cumbria. Seawatching brought the first Fea's/Zino's Petrels of the year, with at least two passing County Cork, being noted off Toe Head, Galley Head and Ballycotton. Other seabirds included Sabine's Gull (Isles of Scilly), Long-tailed Skua (County Cork), Cory's Shearwater (County Cork and County Wexford), and Great Shearwater (County Cork). The best of the rest comprised Rose-coloured Starling (Glamorgan), Serin and Purple Heron (Suffolk), Marsh Warbler (Hertfordshire), Glossy Ibis (East Yorkshire), Ring-billed Gull (Lancashire), and a total of 28 Great White Egrets. |
