| The highlight of the day was the discovery of a showy Rose-breasted Grosbeak on the Shetland Isles on West
Burra: only the second spring record in Britain or Ireland - following a female suppressed at Holme, Norfolk on 4th-5th May 2006 - and just the fifth record for Scotland. Elsewhere, a
Black-winged Stilt was new in Lincolnshire at Frampton Marsh, a Black Kite showed briefly in Suffolk, and a
White-rumped Sandpiper flew past Walney Island, Cumbria. Lingering rarities confirmed as still present were the Western Rufous Turtle Dove in Kent, both Snowy Owl and Iberian Chiffchaff on the Isles of Scilly, Lesser Yellowlegs in Argyll, Black-headed Wagtail in Norfolk, and Savi's Warbler in Suffolk. Scarcities included Richard's Pipit (Norfolk), Rough-legged Buzzard (Lincolnshire), Spotted Crake (Suffolk), three Hoopoes, seven Glossy Ibises, and 18 Dotterel (all together in Norfolk). Eight Long-tailed and 347 Pomarine Skuas passed North Uist, Western Isles. |
