Tuesday 13th October 2020  
  Nearctic landbirds today were confined to the Isles of Scilly where both Swainson's Thrush and American Buff-bellied Pipit were present on Bryher.

Asian passerines included the White's Thrush still in Devon on Lundy, Red-flanked Bluetails in both Northumberland and the Shetland Isles, Red-throated Pipits in Cornwall and Scilly, Radde's Warblers in Suffolk and Scilly, Dusky Warblers in East Yorkshire and Shetland, Blyth's Reed Warbler on Shetland, Eastern Yellow Wagtail in County Galway, and Citrine Wagtail in County Wexford.

Other lingering rarities comprised both Pacific Golden Plover and King Eider still in Moray, Pied-billed Grebe in Argyll, Wilson's Phalarope in Hampshire, and Lesser Yellowlegs in both North Yorkshire and Somerset.

Late news concerned the Lammergeier that was present yesterday in Kent near Tunbridge Wells. DNA analysis of a feather dropped by this bird has proven that it originates from the Alps.
