| A stunning Siberian Accentor was discovered today in Shetland. This
first for Britain spent mid afternoon onwards in a quarry near Scousburgh,
entertaining the small gathered crowd until it appeared to go to roost at
6.40pm.
A Two-barred Greenish Warbler was found on Papa Westray, Orkney, with other new discoveries including a Black-throated Thrush and Dusky Warbler at Kenidjack and Blyth's Pipit at Porthgwarra, both Cornwall, a Pacific Golden Plover over Rattray Head, Aberdeenshire, single Red-flanked Bluetails at Hartlepool, Cleveland, Amble, Northumberland and Grimston, East Yorkshire, a Siberian Stonechat at Thornham and a second Dusky Warbler at Cromer, both Norfolk, single Subalpine Warblers at Hugh Town, Isles of Scilly and Portland, Dorset, a Radde's Warbler at Brownstown Head, County Waterford, a Blyth's Reed Warbler on Whalsay and a Dusky Warbler on Out Skerries, both Shetland, an Olive-backed Pipit at Spurn, East Yorkshire and a Long-billed Dowitcher at Oare Marshes, Kent. Lingering rarity highlights included the Rose-breasted Grosbeak in County Cork, Semipalmated Plover in County Mayo, Sharp-tailed Sandpiper in County Kerry, Hooded Merganser in Clyde, Swainson's Thrush in Shetland, Red-flanked Bluetail in County Down, Sora in the Isles of Scilly, Western Purple Swamphen and probable Stejneger's Stonechat in Lincolnshire, Dalmatian Pelican in Devon, Hudsonian Whimbrel in Cornwall and Forster's Tern in both County Dublin and County Louth.
