| The Scilly pelagic hit the jackpot, again, today, with a flyby Red-footed Booby (the second for Britain following a moribund bird on a Sussex beach in 2016), along with a further two Scopoli's Shearwaters, making a total of nine of the latter from the pelagics since 28th July and another ten Wilson's Petrels. Seven more Wilson's Petrels were seen off Cornwall with four also off County Cork, with other seabirds totalling 277 Cory's Shearwaters, 128 Great Shearwaters, two Balearic Shearwaters, and singles of Sabine's Gull, Grey Phalarope, Leach's Petrel, Pomarine Skua and Long-tailed Skua.
A Bee-eater was discovered at Elton Reservoir, Greater Manchester, whilst lingering rarities included the Bridled Tern in Gwynedd, Forster's Tern in Dorset, Hudsonian Godwit in Shetland, Black-winged Pratincole in County Donegal, Long-billed Dowitchers in Orkney and Norfolk, Pacific Golden Plover in Orkney, White-rumped Sandpiper in County Wexford and five Black-winged Stilts in Lincolnshire. Scarcity highlights included three Red-backed Shrikes, a Honey Buzzard, two Montagu's Harriers, a Glossy Ibis, three Pectoral Sandpipers, a Ring-necked Duck and an Iceland Gull. |
