	A poor day for exciting discoveries with a brief Cattle Egret at Samphire Hoe, Kent in the afternoon and an Alpine Swift at Meols, Wirral – the latter presumably the long-staying bird present recently at nearby Barnston. Three Wrynecks were found; at Portland, Dorset, Warmley, Gloucestershire and Alkborough, Lincolnshire whilst a confiding White Stork showed well during the afternoon and evening at Glais, Glamorgan.
