| Bonaparte's Gulls were the main news of the day, with an adult being
found at Blennerville, Co Kerry and belated news of an adult found
yesterday at Walmsley Sanctuary, Cornwall, but not
seen today. Another Falcated Duck was found, this time a
drake in Kent, at Higham Bight, Cliffe. On the Shetland Isles, a probable Gyr
was seen at Baltasound on Unst in the morning. Other new birds included a female Surf Scoter found at Langstone Harbour
in Hampshire and two Northern Long-tailed Tits seen briefly at Tenterden
in Kent. The Pallas's Warbler continued to show well at Holyhead on
Anglesey.
The Ross's Gull was still at Loch Caolisport in Argyll and in Angus the Bonaparte's Gull was again at Ferryden. Both the Barrow's Goldneye in Forth and the Falcated Duck in Devon continued to perform, as did the Spotted Sandpiper in Cornwall and the Hume's Yellow-browed Warbler in Aberdeenshire. Both Lesser Scaups were seen on North Uist, Western Isles today. The Balearic Shearwater continued to linger off Cley, Norfolk. Good numbers of Great Northern Divers continued to be seen at inland sites, with 17 present over the last couple of days, and Great Grey Shrikes were in Suffolk and Clyde today. |
