  Discoveries today included a Savi’s Warbler on Unst, Shetland and a Laughing Gull at Bunbeg, Co Donegal. In Kent a Black Stork flew over Tonbridge and on the Western Isles seawatchers at the Butt of Lewis logged a passing White-billed Diver.

Yesterdays star bird - the Wilson’s Phalarope at Hillesden - remained to the delight of many, and the Iberian Chiffchaff continued to pronounce its territory at Postbridge, Devon.

In Kent the distinctive first-summer gull remained throughout the day at Dungeness - although informed opinion suggests it is unlikely to be Heuglin’s Gull.
