| Mind-boggling news today of an Indian Golden Oriole in Northumberland on Holy Island where it was present all morning and early afternoon but, unfortunately, was lost from view before it was identified. The breeding range of this migratory species includes Central Asia with all birds wintering in the Indian Subcontinent and so is similar to other extreme rarities on the British List (Long-tailed Shrike and Sulphur-bellied Warbler) and European List (Pied Bush Chat and Hume's Whitethroat).
Discoveries elsewhere included a Thrush Nightingale on the Shetland Isles at Moarfield, a Great Reed Warbler in Essex at The Naze, the first Blyth's Reed Warbler of the year in East Yorkshire at Kilnsea, and in County Dublin the Least Tern returned to Portrane for at least a fourth summer. Lingering rarities confirmed as still present were the Pacific Diver in County Cork, American Black Tern in Northumberland, Savi's Warblers still on territory in Leicestershire and East Yorkshire, Great Reed Warbler and Red-footed Falcon in Cambridgeshire, Red-breasted Goose and Black-winged Stilt still together in Lincolnshire, and at least three Black Kites around west Cornwall. |
