| The highlight of the day was the discovery of a Red-necked Stint in Nottinghamshire at Misson. The first Nearctic landbird of the
autumn was a Rose-breasted Grosbeak on the Shetland Isles on Unst at Norwick, with elsewhere around the archipelago a Blyth's Reed Warbler on Fetlar, and on the Mainland a
Pallid Harrier briefly at Toft, and a King Eider still at Wadbister Voe. Lingering rarities confirmed as still present were the White-tailed Lapwing in East Yorkshire, American Buff-bellied Pipit on the Western Isles, Red-breasted Goose in Lincolnshire, Balearic Woodchat Shrike in Isles of Scilly, and Bonaparte's Gulls in both County Down and Kent. Nearctic waders comprised Semipalmated Sandpiper still in Argyll, Baird's Sandpipers in both County Cork and the Isles of Scilly, Long-billed Dowitcher in Norfolk, Lesser Yellowlegs in County Wexford, four Buff-breasted Sandpipers, and a total of 34 Pectoral Sandpipers. Other scarcities included Purple Heron (West Sussex), American Wigeon (Cambridgeshire), Hoopoe (Lothian), Spotted Crake (Lincolnshire), two each of Ring-necked Duck and Dotterel, three of Red-backed Shrike, Rose-coloured Starling, and Surf Scoter, four Lapland Buntings, five Yellow-browed Warblers, seven Common Rosefinches, eight Glossy Ibises, and nine Long-tailed Skuas. |
