| Warblers again featured in the new discoveries today with a Greenish Warbler found at Lowestoft in Suffolk, a Bonelli's Warbler sp found on Skomer Island in Pembrokeshire and a Blyth's Reed Warbler trapped and ringed at Stanford Reservoir on the Leicestershire/Northamptonshire border. This latter being an unseasonally early record. A Pacific Golden Plover was seen for about 20 minutes in a field in Waxham. Other excitement was provided by Saker Falcons: with a juvenile on Scilly proving to be an escape and another seen flying past Bempton in Yorkshire, which is thought possibly to be an escaped bird seen recently at Flamborough.
Lingering rarities included the Zitting Cisticola and Black Stork in Suffolk, White-winged Scoter in Lothian, Lesser Scaups in Staffordshire (2) and Greater Manchester, Ferruginous Duck in Leicestershire, Black Kite in Cornwall, Lesser Yellowlegs in Hampshire, two Long-billed Dowitchers at Tacumshin in County Wexford, White-rumped Sandpipers in East Yorkshire (2), Norfolk and Lincolnshire and Bonaparte's Gull in Kent. |
