| The Siberian Accentor remained East Yorkshire at Easington, with yet another discovered,
at Sunderland, County Durham - the fourth ever in Britain, and the fourth this week! Another arrival from the east was an Isabelline Wheatear present for a second day on the Shetland Isles at Loch of Spiggie, Mainland, with elsewhere around that archipelago, two Pine Buntings, Black-faced Bunting, Pied Wheatear and Blyth's Reed Warbler, and around the whole of the British Isles, day totals of three Red-flanked Bluetails, six Siberian Stonechats, seven Radde's Warblers, seven Olive-backed Pipits, and 14 Dusky Warblers. Three Northern Long-tailed Tits were new at Boddam, Aberdeenshire. Otherwise, a Black-browed Albatross lingered in Gwynedd off Bardsey Island, a Caspian Tern flew past St Margaret's at Cliffe, Kent, a Red-eyed Vireo lingered in Cornwall, and the reported Eastern Bonelli's Warbler on Cape Clear, County Cork, was reidentified as a Western Bonelli's Warbler. Lingering rarities confirmed as still present included the Western Purple Swamphen in Lincolnshire, Dalmatian Pelican in Cornwall, Black Duck in Highland, Bonaparte's Gull in County Clare, Baird's Sandpiper in Northumberland, Long-billed Dowitcher in Kent, and Lesser Yellowlegs in Dorset. |
