| Britain's third Siberian Accentor was discovered this morning at
Saltburn-by-the-Sea in Cleveland. It remained extremely elusive throughout the
rest of the day, much more so than the Yorkshire bird, which showed well all day
at Easington. The first Eastern Bonelli's Warbler for Ireland was found
on Cape Clear.
The headline news elsewhere was the large arrival of Dusky Warblers and Radde's Warblers along the east coast. Twelve Dusky Warblers were in Yorkshire, eight at Spurn and four in the Flamborough area, with three in Norfolk, three in Suffolk, two in Cleveland, and singles in Northumberland, Lincolnshire and Cornwall. Three Radde's Warblers were in County Cork, with four in Yorkshire, four in Norfolk, two in Cleveland and singles in County Waterford and Lincolnshire. A Red-eyed Vireo was at Porthgwarra, Cornwall, with a new Red-throated Pipit also in the county, whilst other new discoveries included a Red-flanked Bluetail, a Siberian Stonechat and two Olive-backed Pipits in Shetland and a Blue-winged Teal in Lancashire. Other lingering rarity highlights included the Black-faced Bunting, Pine Bunting, Pechora Pipit, Pied Wheatear and another Siberian Stonechat in Shetland (with others of the latter in Cleveland and County Cork), Western Purple Swamphen, Red-flanked Bluetail and Long-billed Dowitcher in Lincolnshire, Subalpine warbler species in the Isles of Scilly, Olive-backed Pipits in Fife and Norfolk, Long-billed Dowitcher in Kent, Lesser Yellowlegs in Dorset and Dalmatian Pelican in Cornwall. |
