The highlight of the day was the discovery of a Horned Lark on Dursey Island, County
Cork; the seventeenth Nearctic landbird to be located between Britain and
Ireland since 25th September. Other rarities in Ireland today comprised a Bonaparte's Gull in County Cork, Black Duck in County Mayo, and
Long-billed Dowitcher and Lesser Yellowlegs together in County Wexford. Rarities elsewhere included the White-tailed Lapwing still in East Yorkshire, Brown Shrike and Blyth's Reed Warbler in Cornwall, three Penduline Tits and a Lesser Scaup in Somerset, Arctic Warbler still in Cleveland, Ferruginous Duck in Staffordshire, King Eiders in both Lothian and Moray, and at least five White-billed Divers along the coast between Lothian and Norfolk. On the Isles of Scilly the Lesser Scaup relocated to Tresco and the Hoopoe to Bryher, whilst on St Mary's Spotted Sandpiper, Red-throated Pipit, Red-breasted Flycatcher, two Little Buntings, and a total of six Yellow-browed Warblers. On the Shetland Isles Hume's Warbler, Western Bonelli's Warbler, Red-flanked Bluetail, American Golden Plover, and Red-breasted Flycatcher all remained on Mainland, and a Little Bunting was on Fair Isle. |
