Wednesday 13th September 2006
	A relatively quiet day with the only new rarities reported being a popular juvenile White-winged Black Tern at Long Eaton GPs (Derbys), a Great White Egret at Humberston Fitties (Lincs) and another Bonaparte's Gull, this time an adult at Inch (Co. Kerry). Passerine migration was typically non-visible in generally clear conditions with the best being male Serin in East Sussex, Red-backed Shrikes in Norfolk, East Sussex, Aberdeenshire and Co. Cork, two Common Rosefinches on North Ronaldsay (Orkney), juvenile Rose-coloured Starling on Cape Clear Island (Co. Cork), a probable Tawny Pipit at Criccieth (Gwynedd) and a Golden Oriole at Portland (Dorset). A Corncrake was at Huntspill (Somerset). The only new waders were a couple of fresh Pectoral Sandpipers while remaining rarities included the Bonelli's Warbler on Tresco, Semipalmated Sandpiper in Hampshire, and Baird's Sandpiper in Cornwall. In Norfolk, a probable Black-headed Bunting present at Holme NOA (and previously at Hunstanton) may refer to an escaped weaver species that has been present in the area for the last few weeks. There was no sign today of the adult dark morph Eleonora's Falcon in Scilly.
