| The highlight of the day was the continued presence of the Cliff Swallow on the Isles of Scilly,
whilst the Western Purple Swamphen remained in Lincolnshire, and the
Forster's Tern was still in County Louth. In Cornwall a Paddyfield Warbler
was trapped and ringed at Nanjizal, and two Bee-eaters flew over near Lostwithiel.
Elsewhere, a Black Stork made a brief visit to Portland, Dorset, and in
Lancashire a Citrine Wagtail flew over Middleton. Nearctic waders comprised Baird's Sandpiper, Lesser Yellowlegs and American Golden Plover all new on the Western Isles, further Baird's Sandpipers in County Donegal and South Yorkshire, Lesser Yellowlegs on Anglesey, the Hudsonian Whimbrel in Cornwall, three Pectoral Sandpipers and four Buff-breasted Sandpipers. Scarcities included Purple Heron (Oxfordshire), Red-breasted Flycatcher (Shetland Isles), Spotted Crake (East Yorkshire), Red-necked Phalarope (West Sussex), two each of Ortolan Bunting, Icterine Warbler, Red-backed Shrike, White-winged Black Tern and Cattle Egret, three Barred Warblers, five Temminck's Stints, 14 Wrynecks and 58 Lapland Buntings. |
