| A Western Orphean Warbler was trapped and ringed at Finstown, Orkney
mid morning, where it remained throughout the day. Britain's fifth Siberian
Accentor was discovered on Holy Island, Northumberland, with an Isabelline Wheatear also present there, and the immature
Black-browed Albatross was seen flying south off Cape Cornwall, Cornwall
early morning. Late news from yesterday also concerned the Black-browed
Albatross, which was seen off the Landing Bay on Lundy in Devon.
Single Isabelline Shrikes were found at Girdle Ness, Aberdeenshire and on Holy Island, Northumberland, a Desert Wheatear was at Spiggie, Shetland, a Western Bonelli's Warbler was at Firkeel, County Cork and a Richardson's Cackling Goose was on Islay, Argyll. In Shetland the Black-faced Bunting remained, as did the two Pine Buntings, Isabelline Wheatear, two probable Stejneger's Stonechats, Red-flanked Bluetail, two Olive-backed Pipits and the Dusky Warbler. Other lingering rarities included the Siberian Accentors in Yorkshire and County Durham, Isabelline Wheatear and Dusky Warbler in Yorkshire (with others of the latter in Cornwall, Northumberland and Lothian), two Radde's Warblers and another Western Bonelli's Warbler in County Cork, three Northern Long-tailed Tits in Aberdeenshire, Dalmatian Pelican in Cornwall, Lesser Yellowlegs in Dorset, Long-billed Dowitcher in Kent and Pallid Harrier and Ferruginous Duck in Somerset. |
