| The highlight of the day was a Pallas's Grasshopper Warbler trapped and ringed at Kilnsea, East Yorkshire in the early morning, although it was not seen after it
was released. Elsewhere, a Franklin's Gull was discovered in Northumberland at Whittle Dene Reservoir, whilst the
Pallid Harrier remained on nearby Holy Island. The Western Purple Swamphen lingered in Lincolnshire, both the Dalmatian Pelican and
Whiskered Tern continued in Cornwall, as did the Western Bonelli's Warbler in County Cork, and in County Kerry two
Wilson's Petrels flew past Brandon Point. Nearctic waders comprised single Baird's Sandpipers in County Waterford, County Wexford and Worcestershire, Semipalmated Sandpiper in County Kerry, American Golden Plover in Norfolk, Lesser Yellowlegs in County Cork, Devon (2) and the Isles of Scilly, three Buff-breasted Sandpipers and seven Pectoral Sandpipers. Landbirds included Rose-coloured Starling (County Cork), Melodious Warbler (Gwynedd), Woodchat Shrike (Isles of Scilly), Marsh Warbler (Orkney Isles), Short-toed Lark, Little Bunting and Barred Warbler (all Shetland Isles), two each of both Greenish Warbler and Ortolan Bunting, three Red-breasted Flycatchers, four of Common Rosefinch and Red-backed Shrike, 15 Wrynecks, 18 Yellow-browed Warblers and 57 Lapland Buntings. |
