  Shetland once again stole the limelight with a superb Scops Owl on Mainland at Swining. Like the Collared Flycatcher - that remained nearby at Brow Marsh – Scops Owl is becoming something of a Shetland speciality with four records in the last six years.

Notable finds elsewhere included a Lesser Scaup at Bramford, Suffolk in the evening (only the second county record) and a Black Stork present briefly on North Ronaldsay, Orkney.

Both the Iberian Chiffchaffs remained at Postbridge, Devon and Pressmennan Lake, Lothian with sonograms of the latter bird's song confirming its identity.
