Tuesday 4th July 2006
	The highlight of the day was a Snowy Owl on North Uist, Western Isles at Sollas, present at this site for the second day. Indeed it is likely this bird has been on North Uist for sometime with reported in January, April and May likely to relate to the same elusive individual. Elsewhere the Gull-billed Tern remained by the Camel Estuary, Cornwall and the Common Rosefinch contiuned to sing at Newmachar, Aberdeenshire. In Ayrshire the long-staying King Eider at Troon began acquiring eclipse plumage.
