| The Isles of Scilly lead the field today with a smart male Rock Thrush
present on St.Martins for its second day. It showed well for most of the day at
the east end of the island. There was also a Wryneck in the same place
and, on St.Agnes, the Western Subalpine Warbler was still present along
with a Hoopoe, whilst on St.Mary's there was a Red-rumped Swallow
at Porth Hellick and the Purple Heron was still present at Lower Moors.
Elsewhere around the country, new rarities discovered comprised Black Kite and Black-winged Stilt in Kent and a Red-rumped Swallow in Northumberland. Longer staying rarities included Pied-billed Grebe in Argyll, American Coot on the Western Isles, Black Duck in Highland, Bonaparte's Gull in Oxfordshire and two Black-winged Stilts in Essex. The Kentish Plover at Breydon Water in Norfolk remained a major attraction and there were still Woodchat Shrikes in Cornwall and County Waterford. Five Shorelarks popped up at Happisburgh in Norfolk whilst the long staying bird was still in Shropshire. |
