Friday 23rd August 2024  
  In the strong winds today a Bridled or Sooty Tern was seen briefly off Burnham-on-Sea in Somerset, then lost to view and may have flown inland. Two new Nearctic shorebirds were found today, a Spotted Sandpiper on St.Kilda in the Western Isles and a Semipalmated Sandpiper at Streedagh in County Sligo. From the other direction, a Blyth's Reed Warbler was found on Bressay in Shetland.

The Hudsonian Godwit was again on the Dee Estuary in Flintshire, but was not very obliging. Other lingering rarities included White-rumped Sandpipers in Norfolk, Moray and County Dublin, Semipalmated Sandpipers in County Cork and Cornwall, Baird's Sandpiper in Lincolnshire, Lesser Scaup in Staffordshire, Canvasback in Essex, Ferruginous Duck in Warwickshire, Blue-winged Teal in Yorkshire and Citrine Wagtail on Fair Isle in Shetland.
