| The highlight of the day was an Egyptian Vulture that flew south over Devoran, Cornwall. It was believed to be a subadult and therefore not the adult present
in England and Ireland between 13th May 2021 and 6th May 2022. Other new rarities comprised a Slate-coloured Junco in Pembrokeshire at St Ishmael's with a Kentish Plover nearby at the Gann Estuary, a White-rumped Sandpiper in Leicestershire at Rutland Water, a Subalpine Warbler species on the Orkney Isles on North Ronaldsay, a Red-rumped Swallow briefly in Essex, White-billed Diver on the Shetland Isles, and Bee-eaters in Kent (9) and Suffolk (3). Lingering rarities confirmed as still present were the Black-browed Albatross in East Yorkshire, Pied-billed Grebe in Argyll, Snowy Owl and two Red-rumped Swallows on the Western Isles, American Black Tern in Northumberland, territorial Great Reed Warbler and at least one Caspian Tern in Norfolk, Black Kite on the Shetland Isles, Tawny Pipit on the Isles of Scilly, territorial Iberian Chiffchaff in London, and a Ferruginous Duck reappeared in Staffordshire. Scarcities included Red-backed Shrike (North Yorkshire), Long-tailed Skua (Shetland), Surf Scoter (Western Isles), Red-necked Phalarope (Northumberland), two each of Purple Heron, Temminck's Stint, and Ring-necked Duck, three Woodchat Shrikes, seven of Serin and Glossy Ibis, and a total of eight Golden Orioles. |
