| The highlight of the day was the discovery of a Collared Pratincole in Norfolk at Hickling Broad, with new rarities elsewhere comprising a
Red-footed Falcon on the Isles of Scilly on St Mary's, a Black Kite in Aberdeenshire at Glen Fenzie,
White-billed Diver on the Orkney Isles at Brough of Birsay, and Bee-eaters
briefly in Cumbria, East Yorkshire, and Norfolk (5). Lingering rarities confirmed as still present were the River Warbler in Somerset, Iberian Chiffchaff in Suffolk, Lesser Yellowlegs in County Wexford, and territorial Great Reed Warblers in both Northumberland and Nottinghamshire. Scarcities included Serin (Kent), Common Rosefinch (East Yorkshire), Purple Heron (Norfolk), Red-necked Phalarope and Ring-necked Duck (Northumberland), two Marsh Warblers, eight Glossy Ibises, and a total of 13 Rose-coloured Starlings. Significant late news concerned a male Red-winged Blackbird present on 11th June at Castleconnor, County Sligo: the first record for Ireland. |
