| A male Siberian Thrush was discovered on Fair Isle, Shetland today. It
was only seen very briefly by a couple of people late morning, and wasn't
located again by this evening. It is the 10th record for Britain.
An Olive-backed Pipit was also on Fair Isle, with another at Scatness, Mainland Shetland, whilst the rest of the archipelago produced a Lanceolated Warbler (Out Skerries), Rustic Bunting (Baltasound, Unst) and a Dusky Warbler (Grutness, Mainland). A little further south, a Red-flanked Bluetail was found on Westray, Orkney, with other new discoveries today including a Blyth's Reed Warbler at Garinish, County Cork, an Alpine Swift at Little Ormes Head, Conwy and a Rustic Bunting on Cape Clear, County Cork. Lingering rarities included the Northern Harrier in Orkney, Semipalmated Sandpiper in Gloucestershire, Citrine Wagtail in Yorkshire, Red-throated Pipit in the Isles of Scilly, Bonaparte's Gull in Moray and Ridgway's Cackling Goose in Devon. |
