Reports
came in today from various localities of Swifts including 8 over Old Town in
the morning.
At
Long Nab the Shore Larks were present for another day but only 10 could be
located in the first field north of the Obs. Unfortunately the analysis of
photographs of the reported Hooded Crow gave irrefutable evidence that the bird
was in fact a hybrid Hooded x Carrion Crow but an interesting record none the
less. Also in the Long Nab area today were 4 Wheatears and 2 Lesser
Whitethroats whilst on the sea 2♂ Eider.
There
were also 2 Wheatears on Castle Hill today; 4 Purple Sandpipers, a Common Sandpiper and 3
Whimbrel at Cornelian Bay and this evening a Whimbrel flew
over Peasholm calling.
