The highlight of the day was a Yellow Warbler on the Shetland Isles on Foula; the first since 2017 and the first Nearctic landbird of the autumn. Discoveries elsewhere included a Pallid Harrier in East Sussex at Cuckmere Haven, an Arctic Warbler on Shetland at Exnaboe, and in Cornwall a Booted Warbler at Porth Joke, a Western Bonelli's Warbler at Porthgwarra, and a Kentish Plover on the Hayle Estuary. Notable seabirds today were the Red-footed Booby still off the Isles of Scilly, a Brown Booby still lingering in North Yorkshire with another again in Fife at Kinghorn, a Fea's Petrel species on the Orkney Isles passing North Ronaldsay, four Sabine's Gulls, 31 Great Shearwaters, and a total of 357 Cory's Shearwaters. Nearctic waders comprised a Semipalmated Sandpiper new in County Cork at Owenahincha, a Lesser Yellowlegs again in Angus at Montrose, Long-billed Dowitcher still in Norfolk, three American Golden Plovers, eight Buff-breasted Sandpipers, and nine Pectoral Sandpipers. Lingering rarities confirmed as still present were the Stejneger's Scoter and Surf Scoter together in Lothian, Blue-winged Teal in East Yorkshire, Bonaparte's Gull in County Dublin, Ferruginous Duck in Warwickshire, and Azorean Yellow-legged Gull in County Mayo. |
