The highlight of the day was the discovery of a Terek Sandpiper in County Sligo at Ballysadare Bay which was the first in Ireland since 2016; the last in Britain was in 2020. Nearctic shorebirds today comprised the Western Sandpiper still in Ayrshire, Wilson's Phalarope still in County Antrim, Spotted Sandpiper still in the Isles of Scilly, two Buff-breasted Sandpipers, Baird's Sandpipers in Argyll, Orkney, and County Derry, and seven of both American Golden Plover and Pectoral Sandpiper. Otherwise rarities today included three Zitting Cisticolas still together in Suffolk, Black-winged Pratincole still in Highland, Marsh Sandpiper still in Lothian, Red-footed Falcon in Kent, Lesser Scaup in Staffordshire, and Red-rumped Swallows in both Cornwall and Kent. |
