UK400 Club Rare Bird Alert 28th July 2008

July 28, 2008

This is the UK400 Club Rare Bird Alert for Monday 28th July 2008, issued at 1600 hours, and published in association with Rare Bird Alert Pagers and in turn utilising information gleaned from the Regional Birdlines, BirdGuides, local email groups and websites and individual observers.

As predicted, more TWO-BARRED CROSSBILLS are arriving, with two birds (and adult female and juvenile) on Fair Isle today, feeding with 14 Common Crossbills on weeds at the base of Malcolm’s Head. A MARSH WARBLER at Spurn Point (East Yorks) (by Canal Scrape car park) was an early returning migrant.

Right on cue, an adult summer PACIFIC GOLDEN PLOVER is present on North Ronaldsay (Orkney)

In Northumberland, an adult WHITE-RUMPED SANDPIPER is present at Druridge Bay, elusively feeding amongst vegetation to the north of the causeway on the north side of Cresswell Pond NWT. Nearby, at high tide, there was a gathering of at least 11 ROSEATE TERNS at Alnmouth (the only migrants on the Farne Islands today being a Common Cuckoo and Garden Warbler following the weekend’s early
ICTERINE WARBLER).

Yesterday saw a GLOSSY IBIS in East Yorkshire (initially seen flying south at Spurn Point then later relocated at Patrington Haven and then Sammy’s Point, Kilnsea, whilst adult PECTORAL SANDPIPERS remain at Gibraltar Point NNR Jackson’s Marsh scrape (Lincs) and Holland Haven NR scrape (Essex) and a new one (or more likely a reorienting one) at Titchwell RSPB (Norfolk). A further adult was present at Port Carlisle Harbour (Cumbria) for a second day.

The ‘resident’ drake FERRUGINOUS DUCK was showing in Stratford Bay, Chew Valley Lake (Avon) this morning, as was the male Hooded Merganser of unknown origin at Radipole Lake RSPB (Dorset).

A CATTLE EGRET was present at Oare Marshes NR (Kent) briefly on Saturday.
