  Highlight of the day was a Whiskered Tern at Rockland Broad, Norfolk in the evening. First seen yesterday but not reported until today, an initial search drew a blank before the bird reappeared in the evening. In South Yorkshire a White-winged Black Tern at Broomhill Flash may well have been the relocating bird from Lincolnshire.

Elsewhere, in Cornwall both the Red-rumped Swallow at Maenporth and the Spotted Sandpiper at Newlyn remained but were elusive on occasion. The pair of Black-winged Stilts at Martin Mere, Lancashire continued to incubate their eggs.
