| The outstanding new discovery today was of a Hermit Thrush on the Isle
of Noss on the Shetland Islands and it showed well during the afternoon for
those who travelled across from mainland Shetland. Of eleven previously accepted
records of this species, four have been on the Shetland Islands, and three of
those in the spring, so this record is not without precedent.
Other new discoveries were of a Long-billed Dowitcher at Papa Westray on the Orkney Islands, a fly past drake King Eider at Lossiemouth in Moray and Nairn, six Black-winged Stilts at Slimbridge in Gloucestershire and a Savi's Warbler at Minsmere in Suffolk. Other rarities still present included Bonaparte's Gulls in Hampshire and Oxfordshire, Squacco Heron in County Kerry, Two-barred Crossbill in Somerset, three Black-winged Stilts in Essex, White-billed Diver on Orkney and the long staying Black Duck was still to be found at Strontian in Highland. Short staying Hoopoes were reported in South Yorkshire, County Durham and Norfolk, Dotterels were reported in Gwynedd and Shropshire and Shorelarks could still be found in Shropshire, North Yorkshire and Norfolk. |
