Wednesday 2nd August 2006  
  With no new discoveries today the main news centered on the long staying Marsh Sandpiper at Pagham Harbour, West Sussex, Long-billed Dowitcher and Lesser Yellowlegs at Gibraltar Point, Lincolnshire and the White Pelican at Bough Beech Reservoir, Kent.

As is typical for the season, numbers of northerly dispersing European species such as Balearic Shearwater, Little Egret, Yellow-legged and Mediterranean Gulls continued to increase at scattered sites.

Meanwhile the Glossy Ibis reported on Monday near Leyburn, North Yorkshire has been identified from photographs as an adult Puna Ibis; a South American species and an obvious escape.
