| The highlight of the day was the discovery of a Hudsonian Whimbrel in Cornwall at Marazion. Elsewhere, new rarities comprised a
Dusky Warbler on the Shetland Isles on Unst, and a Ferruginous Duck at Washington, County Durham. In Gloucestershire the
Semipalmated Sandpiper reappeared at Slimbridge. Lingering rarities confirmed as still present were the Pallid Harrier in County Mayo, Black Scoter in County Kerry, Northern Harrier on the Orkney Isles, Long-billed Dowitcher in Hampshire, White-rumped Sandpiper in Aberdeenshire, and single Dusky Warblers in both Kent and the Isles of Scilly. However, the Chestnut Bunting had gone from Papa Westray, Orkney Isles. Scarcities included five Pallas's Warblers, four Cattle Egrets, three Serins, two each of both American Wigeon and Glossy Ibis, Little Bunting (Dorset), Red-breasted Flycatcher (Cleveland), American Golden Plover (East Yorkshire), Surf Scoter (Lothian), Shorelark (Suffolk), Barred Warbler and Rose-coloured Starling (both Cornwall). |
