Wednesday 7th June 2006
	Highlight of the day was the discovery of a Lesser Yellowlegs at Freiston Shore, Lincolnshire where the bird was on show for the majority of the day before departing to the south. In Borders three Bee-eaters flew over near Reston. The best of the rest comprised a showy male Red-backed Shrike at Titchwell, Norfolk and lingering Purple Herons at College Reservoir, Cornwall and Walberswick, Suffolk.
