| The highlight of the day was the reappearance of the male Hudsonian Godwit in County Galway, on Inishmore, Aran Islands where it showed well until dusk. The same bird - and the first Irish record - had previously been seen further northwest in County Galway, at Inishdawros, on 23rd July 2015. Other rarities comprised a Blyth's Reed Warbler confirmed in County Durham at Marsden Quarry, a Wilson's Petrel off the Isles of Scilly, Arctic Warbler still in Lothian, and the lingering Red-footed Falcon in Fife. On the Shetland Isles a Pallid Harrier remained on Fair Isle, with the Western Bonelli's Warbler still at Sumburgh Head with a further unidentified Bonelli's Warbler species on Unst. Scarcities included Melodious Warbler, Icterine Warbler, Golden Oriole and Dotterel all on the Isles of Scilly, Buff-breasted Sandpiper and American Wigeon together in County Wexford, Surf Scoter and Ring-billed Gull on the Western Isles, Woodchat Shrike (North Yorkshire), Rose-coloured Starling (Cornwall), Cattle Egret (Kent), two each of both Ortolan Bunting and Red-backed Shrike, three Great Shearwaters, four Yellow-browed Warblers, five Pectoral Sandpipers, six Barred Warblers, nine of both Wryneck and Long-tailed Skua, and 14 Grey Phalaropes. |
