The highlight of the day was the discovery of a Brown Booby in Lothian off Cramond Island before it departed and later was noted passing Fife Ness, Fife with nearby a Barolo Shearwater passing Elie Ness. Other seabirds comprised the Red-footed Booby still on the Isles of Scilly, a Sabine's Gull in Essex, and totals of at least nine Long-tailed Skuas, 80 Great Shearwaters, and 609 Cory's Shearwaters. Rarities elsewhere comprised the Hudsonian Godwit still on the Shetland Isles, Stejneger's Scoter, King Eider, and Surf Scoter all still together in Lothian, Forster's Tern still in Dorset, a Bonelli's Warbler species briefly in Devon at East Soar, Black Stork in Kent, Long-billed Dowitcher in Norfolk, Bonaparte's Gull in County Dublin, and Black-winged Stilts in both Lincolnshire (3) and South Yorkshire (4). Scarcities included Barred Warbler, Marsh Warbler, and Common Rosefinch (Shetland), Melodious Warbler and Dotterel (Cornwall), White-winged Black Tern (Leicestershire), American Golden Plover (County Down), Ring-necked Duck (Suffolk), and two each of Wryneck, Pectoral Sandpiper, and Glossy Ibis. |
