| The highlight of the day was the continued presence of the Siberian Accentor
on the Shetland Isles on Unst, with, on nearby islands, a Pine Bunting still on Fair Isle,
Pied Wheatear and two Coues's Arctic Redpolls. Elsewhere, eastern vagrants comprised Isabelline Wheatear, Desert Wheatear, Black-throated Thrush, Siberian Stonechat and two Dusky Warblers all in Norfolk, Red-flanked Bluetails in both County Cork and Lincolnshire, Siberian Stonechat in East Yorkshire, Hume's Yellow-browed Warblers in Cornwall and East Yorkshire (2), further Dusky Warblers in Essex and the Orkney Isles, Red-throated Pipit in County Wexford, Eastern Yellow Wagtail on the Western Isles, and Black-bellied Dipper in Suffolk. Otherwise, an American Herring Gull was identified on the Isles of Scilly, a King Eider flew past County Durham and Northumberland, the Northern Harrier returned to the Orkney Isles, the Western Purple Swamphen remained in Lincolnshire, as did both the Dalmatian Pelican and Hudsonian Whimbrel in Cornwall, Baird's Sandpiper remained in Northumberland, with Lesser Yellowlegs in both Dorset and Somerset, and single Long-billed Dowitchers in Kent, County Louth and County Wexford. Significant late news concerned the Siberian Stonechat present yesterday on the Isles of Scilly being reidentified as a Caspian Stonechat. |
