| An unexpected major find today was a White-throated Sparrow on the Isle of May in Fife. Elsewhere, White-rumped Sandpipers were the order of the day with new birds being found at Dungarvan in County Waterford, Youghal in County Cork, Meols in Cheshire and Seaforth in Merseyside, with birds also still lingering on Scilly and in Norfolk. A Fea's Petrel flew past Pendeen in Cornwall and in Kent, Sandwich Bay had both Red-rumped Swallow and Black Kite fly through.
At least one Black Stork continued to tour the east of Norfolk and Suffolk and, in Orkney the Blue-cheeked Bee-eater remained, at least in the morning and on the Gloucestershire/Oxfordshire border, the Long-tailed Shrike was still in residence, as was the Hudsonian Godwit on the Suffolk/Essex border. Other lingering rarities included Black-winged Kite in Norfolk, Red-footed Falcon in Aberdeenshire, Bonaparte's Gulls in Kent and Gloucestershire, Semipalmated Sandpiper in Orkney and Greenish Warbler in Shetland. |
