| There was major breaking news this evening when a singing Zitting Cisticola was found in coastal grass at Foreness Point in East Kent. Apart from a very brief bird last year, also in East Kent, this is the first one in the UK since 2009, and, with only 10 accepted records, it remains very rare.
Elsewhere an adult Laughing Gull flew round the gull colony at the Calf of Man for a short time, then flew north, whilst back in Kent, the regular summering adult Bonaparte's Gull was found again at Oare Marshes. Two Ferruginous Ducks were found at Linford Lakes in Buckinghamshire. Lingering rarities included the Western Sandpiper Ayrshire, the Blyth's Reed Warbler in Borders, the Great Reed Warbler and Black-winged Pratincole in Shetland, the Lesser Scaup in Greater Manchester and the Lesser Yellowlegs re-appeared at Pennington Marshes in Hampshire, but there was no sign of the White-winged Scoter in Lothian. |
