The only 'new' bird today was a PECTORAL
SANDPIPER at Cley Marsh NWT (Norfolk) on Pat's Pool, while on 2nd July, a drake
BLUE-WINGED TEAL was reported from Lound GP (Notts) and a LEACH'S PETREL was
trapped and ringed overnight on Fair Isle (Shetland) (no Swinhoe's
yet!)..
Otherwise, the hottest day of the year thus
far (82 degrees fahrenheit in some areas of SE England) yielded a reasonable
list of long-stayers (but minus the Short-toed Snake Eagle, last reported
heading north from Pig Bush, New Forest, at 1100 hours on 2nd) -:
TEMMINCK'S STINT (and LONG-TAILED DUCK)
still near the Cronkley Inlet at Derwent Water (Northumberland), with the adult
BRIDLED TERN again on Inner Farne. Calling CORNCRAKE still just east of
Flamborough village (East Yorks), first-summer ROSS'S GULL at Bowling Green
Marsh RSPB (Devon) and ROSE-COLOURED STARLING in Burnley (Lancs). Drake LESSER
SCAUP remains at Blagdon Lake (Somerset), with a long list of resident GLOSSY
IBISES - Vane Farm RSPB (Tayside), by the River Bela near Milnthorpe (Cumbria),
Fairburn Ings (West Yorks), Frampton Marsh RSPB (Lincs), March Farmers (Cambs)
and Stanpit Marsh (Dorset); 20 Spoonbills still at Cley.
In IRELAND, Ballycotton Marsh (Co. Cork)
recorded both first-summer LAUGHING GULL and GLOSSY IBIS today.
