The
big surprise of the day and the rarest bird nationally for the year so far was
a reported Black Stork that flew southwest at Wykeham Raptor View Point at
15.10, also here a single Honey Buzzard
was reported during the morning.
Long
Nab was rather quiet this morning with the highlights including 2 Manx
Shearwater (S), 5 Sandwich Terns (N), 2 Great Skuas (S), 2 Puffins (S) and 85
Swifts (S).
Waders
were quite prominent today with Jackson’s Bay playing host to a Whimbrel, a
Dunlin, 16 Redshank and 25 Turnstones; there was a Dunlin on the sea defences
at Holbeck and going south off Marine Drive this evening 3 Whimbrel, 2 Curlew,
a Turnstone, 11 Knot, 5 Sanderling and 2 Dunlin. Also off Marine Drive this
evening were a Tufted Duck (S), 10 Fulmars (S), 8 Manx Shearwater (6 S, 2 N), 6
