Monday 29th May 2006  
  The only news of newly discovered rarity today was of a Bonaparte's Gull at Blennerville, Co Kerry - although it was actually first seen there yesterday. However, scarcities appeared at several sites with Portland, Dorset hosting Woodchat Shrike, Red-backed Shrike, Serin, Hoopoe and Golden Oriole. An Icterine Warbler sang at St Margaret's at Cliffe, Kent during the morning as did a Melodious Warbler at Porthcawl, Glamorgan.

Dapper female Red-necked Phalaropes proved to be popular attractions at both Marshside, Merseyside and Gouthwaite Reservoir, North Yorkshire. The male Wilson's Phalarope remained at Hillesden, Buckinghamshire.
