	Portland, Dorset was certainly the place today with highlights including three Red-rumped Swallows, two Serins, a male Ashy-headed Wagtail and a Wryneck. Elsewhere a Black-winged Stilt arrived on the Isle of Sheppey, Kent and a Blue-winged Teal was found at Brodgar, Orkney, whilst a Bee-eater flew over Sheringham, Norfolk. The most notable discoveries amongst the national scarcities were a Serin at Landguard, Suffolk, a Wryneck at Horsey, Norfolk and a Kentish Plover at Dawlish Warren, Devon.
