| The highlight of the day was a Dalmatian Pelican in Cornwall, where it was actually first seen on Saturday, at Gwithian. Today the bird lingered between Land's End, Sennen and Polgigga for much of the day, and it transpired that it had previously visited Poland between 6th-11th April, Germany on 16th April-1st May, and eastern France on 3rd May. New discoveries included a Terek Sandpiper in Ceredigion at Ynys-hir, Baird's Sandpiper in Lancashire at Stocks Reservoir, three White-billed Divers together in County Donegal, Great Reed Warblers in both Derbyshire at Willington, and at Netherfield, Nottinghamshire, and Subalpine Warblers in Cornwall, Gwynedd, Isles of Scilly, and the Shetland Isles (3). In addition, brief encounters included both Pallid Harrier and Black Kite in County Kerry, Gull-billed Tern in Pembrokeshire, Black Kite in Lancashire, Red-footed Falcon in West Yorkshire and Bee-eater in Kent. Lingering rarities confirmed as still present were the Western Rufous Turtle Dove in Kent, Pied-billed Grebe in Argyll, both Snowy Owl and two Red-rumped Swallows on the Isles of Scilly, Western Bonelli's Warbler in Lincolnshire, two Whiskered Terns together on Cleveland, King Eider in Highland, Red-footed Falcon in South Yorkshire, and Ferruginous Duck in County Durham. The best of the rest comprised Melodious Warbler (Isles of Scilly), two each of White-winged Black Tern, Short-toed Lark and Serin, three of Bluethroat, Red-backed Shrike and Wryneck, four of both Woodchat Shrike and Grey-headed Wagtail, and six Golden Orioles. |
