	The discovery of three Subalpine Warblers in Scotland was the high point of day. In Fife one was on the Isle of May whilst on Shetland a male Eastern Subalpine Warbler was singing at Vidlin with a Western Subalpine Warbler at nearby Grutness. No doubt associated with this arrival, Fair Isle enjoyed a bumper day with Short-toed Lark, six Bluethroats, three Red-backed Shrikes and a Waxwing all logged. Both Iberian Chiffchaffs – at Pressmennan Lake, Lothian and Postbridge, Devon – continued to deliver their charactersistic song, whilst the Citrine Wagtail remained a popular attraction at Holland Haven, Essex.
