Another extraordinary day for Nearctic landbirds was headlined by the first British record of Canada Warbler; in Pembrokeshire at St Govan's Head - less than three miles from the continuing Magnolia Warbler - and discovered by the same observer! Elsewhere in Wales in Pembrokeshire the Bay-breasted Warbler remained on Ramsey as did the Alder Flycatcher on Skokholm whilst in Gwynedd a tyrant flycatcher species was at Cilan Head and a new Black-and-white Warbler on Bardsey. In Scotland the second British record of Philadelphia Vireo was found on the Western Isles on Barra alongside the lingering Tennessee Warbler and four Red-eyed Vireos there with another Red-eyed Vireo on South Uist, and in Highland an Ovenbird on Rhum. In Ireland the second national Tennessee Warbler joined the remaining Baltimore Oriole on Inishbofin, County Galway, and another Baltimore Oriole was still on Rathlin Island, County Antrim. In England a Northern Parula arrived on St Martin's, Isles of Scilly, and Red-eyed Vireos were in Devon on Lundy and Dorset on Portland. Other discoveries today included on the Shetland Isles a Turkestan Shrike on Fair Isle with a Blyth's Reed Warbler there and other Blyth's Reed Warblers around the islands on Mainland (2) and Unst, an Eastern Yellow Wagtail in Norfolk at Salthouse, a Spotted Sandpiper in County Dublin at Howth, now two American Buff-bellied Pipits together on St Kilda, Western Isles, Pallid Harrier and Red-footed Falcon briefly in Kent, Red-rumped Swallows reported in Pembrokeshire and South Yorkshire, and now two Lesser Yellowlegs together at Tacumshin, County Wexford. Lingering rarities confirmed as still present were the Brown Booby in Cleveland, Stejneger's Scoter and King Eider together in Lothian, Double-crested Cormorant in County Leitrim, Forster's Tern in Dorset, Paddyfield Warbler in County Waterford, Black Stork, Lesser Yellowlegs, and White-rumped Sandpiper all together in Lincolnshire, Baird's Sandpiper in Argyll, Iberian Chiffchaff and Long-billed Dowitcher in County Cork, Pallid Harriers in Essex, Isle of Wight, and Shetland, Red-footed Falcon in Northumberland, Citrine Wagtail on Shetland, Greenish Warbler on the Orkney Isles, and Lesser Yellowlegs in Pembrokeshire. Significant late news from yesterday concerned a Bobolink reported in Glamorgan at Nash Point, and a Greenish Warbler in Aberdeenshire at Cruden Bay. |
