| The news today was dominated by seabirds in the south west, and topping the bill were two to three Scopoli's Shearwaters, all in Cornwall: one seen from a pelagic off Falmouth and one (or the same) from Coverack, with another off Lizard Point. Amongst the many other seabirds seen were peak counts of about 10,000 Great Shearwaters and about 5,000 Cory's Shearwaters, also off Lizard Point.
Other new discoveries were of a Bonaparte's Gull at Keyhaven in Hampshire, a Lesser Yellowlegs at Kidwelly in Carmarthenshire and a Greenish Warbler on Whalsay in Shetland, with another sighting of the roaming Pacific Golden Plover being made on the Suffolk coast - this time flying over Walberswick. Lingering rarities included the family of Zitting Cisticolas and the Black Stork in Suffolk, Lesser Scaup in Greater Manchester, Marsh Sandpiper in Gwent, White-rumped Sandpiper in County Kerry, Long-billed Dowitcher in County Wexford, Kentish Plover on the Isle of Wight, Bonaparte's Gull in Kent, Greenish Warbler in County Donegal and the long staying Eastern Subalpine Warbler on Fair Isle. |
