	A Great Reed Warbler at Sandwich Bay, Kent was the best new rarity found today, where it showed on and off until at least early evening. At least 2 Bee-eaters were heard as they flew over Titchfield Haven, Hampshire, and a Black Kite flew east over Sennen, Cornwall. The Scops Owl performed another late-night show in Thrupp, Oxfordshire, and the Marsh Sandpiper remained at Dungeness RSPB, Kent. Other long-stayers included the first-summer male Red-footed Falcon at Marston Vale Millennium County Park, Bedfordshire and Lesser Yellowlegs at Gibraltar Point NNR, Lincolnshire.
