The highlight of the day was the return of the Black-browed Albatross to Bempton Cliffs where it showed well in the afternoon and evening. Discoveries elsewhere included the
Ferruginous Duck back in Staffordshire at Belvide Reservoir, a White-billed Diver
on Unst, Shetland Isles, and best of all a Blue-winged Teal in Cambridgeshire at Berry
Fen; the third to be found in Britain and Ireland in three days. Lingering rarities confirmed as still present today comprised the Belted Kingfisher in Lancashire, White-tailed Lapwing in Lincolnshire, Baikal Teal in East Yorkshire, Blue-winged Teal in Buckinghamshire, Bonaparte's Gull in West Sussex, Dusky Warbler Norfolk, and two Cackling Geese together on the Western Isles. Scarcities included Snow Goose and Kumlien's Gull (both Western Isles), Hoopoe and Spotted Crake (Devon), Temminck's Stint (Kent), Great Grey Shrike (North Yorkshire), Yellow-browed Warbler (Dorset), four Green-winged Teals, five Ring-necked Ducks, and a total of 14 Glossy Ibises. |
