Highlights of the day were the reappearance of the Elegant Tern in Merseyside at Formby Point, a Lesser Yellowlegs new on the Isles of Scilly on Tresco, and the Black Stork
still in East Yorkshire before relocating to Lincolnshire. Rarities elsewhere comprised the Forster's Tern still in County Louth, Pacific Golden Plovers in both Lincolnshire (2) and Norfolk, Black-winged Stilt in Somerset, White-rumped Sandpipers in both Norfolk and Suffolk, Bonaparte's Gull on the Shetland Isles, and two Baltic Gulls together in Oxfordshire. Seabirds included nine Wilson's Petrels together at sea off the Isles of Scilly, and totals of four Sabine's Gulls, five Cory's Shearwaters, and 14 Great Shearwaters. Other scarcities were Barred Warbler, Common Rosefinch, Red-backed Shrike, and Long-tailed Skua (all on Shetland), Red-necked Phalarope (Norfolk), Pectoral Sandpiper (Suffolk), and two each of both Rose-coloured Starling and Glossy Ibis. |
