Three Greenish Warblers were found in the Spurn area, East Yorkshire, while another was up the coast at Flamborough Head. A Rustic Bunting was in the Nanjizal Valley in Cornwall. In Norfolk, a Savi's Warbler sang at Thorpe Marshes near Norwich. A Black-winged Stilt flew over Hollesley in Suffolk. There was late news of a Little Swift near Aylesham in Kent on Tuesday and a Broad-billed Sandpiper at Musselburgh in Lothian last Thursday. Still with us were the Caspian Tern in Norfolk, Iberian Chiffchaff in Suffolk, Savi's Warbler in Shetland, Lesser Scaup in Western Isles, Lesser Yellowlegs in North Yorkshire and Black-winged Stilt in Sussex. Red-footed Falcons were in Kent (two, both new), Cambridgeshire and Sussex. Four Blyth's Reed Warblers included new birds at Quendale in Shetland, Filey in North Yorkshire and Kilnsea in East Yorkshire, with the Lincolnshire bird still showing well. Bee-eaters were encountered in Essex, Kent, Cornwall and Suffolk. The best of the rest included Red-breasted Flycatcher (Borders), two Common Rosefinches, Serin (Kent), Woodchat Shrike (Co.Cork), 16 Rose-coloured Starlings, Golden Oriole (North Yorkshire), eight Marsh Warblers, two Red-backed Shrikes, Glossy Ibis (Worcestershire) and American Wigeon (Northumberland). |
