Seawatching was again the main focus of attention, with a total of 24 Wilson's Petrels logged, with 17 from a pelagic off the Scillies, six seen from Cornish headlands and a single off Strumble Head in south Wales. Some 460 Cory's Shearwaters were seen along the west coast, with a further three off the east coast and there were 170 Great Shearwaters, 11 Balearic Shearwaters, two Sabine's Gulls and singles of Grey Phalarope and Long-tailed Skua. The Hudsonian Godwit remained on south Mainland, Shetland, although it became a little more mobile today. The Forster's Tern was still at Poole in Dorset, with the Least Tern again at Portrane beach in County Dublin. Other lingering rarities included Long-billed Dowitchers in Norfolk and Orkney, Caspian Tern in Norfolk, King Eider in Lothian, and Bonaparte's Gull in Kent. Other scarcities included a Ring-necked Duck in Suffolk, Pectoral Sandpipers in Kent and County Louth, American Golden Plover in County Derry, Montagu's Harrier in Essex, Red-backed Shrike on Orkney and Wryneck on the Isle of Wight. |
