	Yet another Fea's Petrel was logged off Ireland, again at the Bridges of Ross (Co. Clare). Also in the Republic, a juvenile White-winged Black Tern was a brief visitor to Lady's Island Lake (Co. Wexford) in the morning. An Aquatic Warbler was reported from Marazion Marsh (Cornwall) and a Bee-eater was reported over Blackpool (Lancs). In Aberdeenshire the adult Franklin's Gull again showed up at dawn and dusk. The best of the rest included a brief Ortolan Bunting reported from Benacre (Suffolk), an equally brief Buff-breasted Sandpiper on Great Yarmouth North Beach (Norfolk), 11 Dotterel at Farcet Fen (Cambs), a new Temminck's Stint at Cley (Norfolk) and new Barred Warblers at Bockhill Farm (Kent) and South Ronaldsay (Orkney). The juvenile Kentish Plover remained at Ynyslas throughout the day and the Bluethroat remained on Tresco.
