| The highlight of the day was a male Red-winged Blackbird in County Mayo on The Mullet at Annagh Marsh. Presumably the same individual as that present
38 miles to the east southeast of its current location at Castleconnor, County
Sligo on 11th June. This is the first record of Red-winged Blackbird for Ireland. Other discoveries today included a Red-flanked Bluetail in Norfolk near Blakeney, Black-winged Stilt in Cornwall at Marazion, and Bee-eaters in both Cambridgeshire and Norfolk (9). Lingering rarities confirmed as still present comprised the Least Tern in County Dublin, Caspian Tern in Lincolnshire (albeit only briefly), Great Reed Warbler in Nottinghamshire, Blyth's Reed Warbler in Staffordshire, Lesser Scaup in Borders, King Eider in Aberdeenshire, and White-spotted Bluethroat in Gloucestershire. Scarcities included American Golden Plover (Lancashire), Red-backed Shrike (Shetland Isles), Red-necked Phalarope (Northumberland), three Glossy Ibises, and a total of eight Rose-coloured Starlings. |
