Tuesday 9th May 2006  
  A stunning male Collared Flycatcher at Brow Marsh, Shetland was the prize find today. Although a very rare bird anywhere in Britain it is the tenth spring record for Shetland – with five of these falling in the last nine years.

Another exciting find came in the form of a pair Gull-billed Terns tracked moving north along the English northeast coast. Initially passing Hartlepool, Cleveland they were later noted past various coastal sites in Co.Durham and Northumberland.

Elsewhere a Long-billed Dowitcher was found on North Uist, Western Isles, a Black Stork flew over Wester Clunes, Highland, a Great White Egret appeared at Roadford Reservoir, Devon and a Black Kite flew over the Isle the Grain then Cliffe Pools, Kent.
