Monday 7th August 2006  
  A few new arrivals today including two White-winged Black Terns in Yorkshire; an adult at Filey Brigg and a juvenile at Hornsea Mere, and two Melodious Warblers in Dorset; at Portland Bill and Hengistbury Head.

An adult stint present at East Chevington, Northumberland in the late afternoon was thought most likely to be a Red-necked Stint but  unfortunately the bird was flushed by an aircraft before the identification could be confirmed. The appearance of waders at this site is often determined by the tide so hopefully the bird will reappear tomorrow.
