	In East Sussex a Black Stork flew west over Uckfield in the evening, possible the wandering bird that spent much of the last fortnight or so in Scotland. Wader-wise it was more of the same. The adult White-rumped Sandpiper at Seaton Snook (Cleveland) was only seen in the early morning and again at dusk. Presumably it had spent most of the day feeding on Seal Sands. In Lincolnshire both the Long-billed Dowitcher and Lesser Yellowlegs remained at Gibraltar Point NNR. The best of the rest included more dispersing Roseate Terns and the Red-backed Shrike still at Croxley Common Moor in Hertfordshire.
