Friday 23rd June 2006  
  The star bird today was an adult Bridled Tern in northwest Scotland that flew past a boat in The Minch between the Western Isles and Highland early in the evening. The last truly twitchable Bridled Tern was over fifteen years ago and the next accessible individual will attract quite a crowd. This incredible sighting was made all the more remarkable in that the boat contained ten keen twitchers heading out to Sula Sgeir hoping to connect with the summering Black-browed Albatross. Tomorrow will reveal whether their trip produces an incredible seabird double-whammy for some of the participants.

A male Red-backed Shrike and a Serin were surprise mid summer finds at Portland, Dorset whilst a belated report of a White-billed Diver was received from Gairloch, Highland.
