| The Shetland Isles provided the highlight of the day when a Pine Bunting was discovered on Unst where the
Hornemann's Arctic Redpoll remained, whilst on Mainland the Blackpoll Warbler
continued at Aith. Rarities elsewhere comprised the Eastern Rufous Bush Chat still in Norfolk but increasingly elusive, Brown Shrikes in both Northumberland and West Yorkshire (although Turkestan Shrike was suggested as an alternative identification for the latter), Desert Wheatear in Northumberland, Wilson's Phalarope in Hampshire, Kentsh Plover in Somerset, White-billed Diver in Aberdeenshire, Lesser Yellowlegs in Devon, County Dublin, Somerset and North Yorkshire, four Eastern Stonechats, eight Red-flanked Bluetails (including one inland in Bedfordshire), and a total of 12 Dusky Warblers. Scarcities included Pallas's Warbler (County Durham), Rose-coloured Starling and Richard's Pipit (Dorset), Red-backed Shrike (Kent), Wryneck (County Kerry), Purple Heron (Staffordshire), Lesser Snow Goose (Highland), Surf Scoter (Lothian), two each of American Golden Plover, Little Bunting, Hoopoe, and Ring-necked Duck, and three Red-breasted Flycatchers. |
