	A Gull-billed Tern flew west past Worthing, West Sussex this morning, possibly the same bird that was logged past here on 11th June. A Black-winged Stilt flew over Samlesbury, Lancashire early evening; the pair at Martin Mere WWT were last reported on Monday. In Ireland 2 Wilson's Petrels past Brandon Head were the first of the 'season' away from a Scilly pelagic. The adult Whiskered Tern made another brief appearance at Gibraltar Point NNR, Lincolnshire, where the Lesser Yellowlegs also remained. The Great Reed Warbler continued to sing in Angus and in Oxfordshire, the Scops Owl was still at Thrupp. A report of a possible White-tailed Eagle in Cambridgeshire was an intriguing, if somewhat bizarre June record.
