| The highlight of the day was the discovery of the first Stilt Sandpiper for Wales at Conwy RSPB, Conwy in the afternoon. Thanks to an impromptu extension of the reserve opening hours the bird - thought most likely to be a first-summer - showed well until dusk. In East Sussex a first-summer Laughing Gull spent the evening at Arlington Reservoir, no doubt a wandering remnant of the incredible influx into Europe in late autumn 2005. The Black Stork showed again by the Eye Water, Borders and the female Lesser Grey Shrike continued to delight admirers at Shingle Street, Suffolk. However, the Semipalmated Sandpiper at Back Saltholme Pool, Cleveland, having spent an hour calling flew off strongly to the south at dusk. |

| An eclipse male Lesser Scaup discovered at Hornsea Mere, East Yorkshire this evening was - given the strong site fidelty traditionally shown by ducks - presumably the bird that spent last autumn at this site. Other moulting ducks included a male American Wigeon at Goldcliff, Gwent and singles of both King Eider and Surf Scoter at the traditional seaduck hotspot of Blackdog, Aberdeenshire. In England the female Lesser Grey Shrike at Shingle Street, Suffolk and the Semipalmated Sandpiper at Back Saltholme Pool, Cleveland remained popular whilst in Scotland the Black Stork at Auchencrow, Borders and Great Reed Warbler at Loch of Kinnordy, Angus remained frustratingly elusive. |
