Monday 18th September 2006  
  Another busy day with the star birds on the Shetland Isles: Pechora Pipit and Booted Warbler were both discovered on Fetlar whilst on Fair Isle the lingering Pechora Pipit was joined by both Olive-backed Pipit and Red-throated Pipit and on Fetlar a Siberian Stonechat was found.

Meanwhile, the Scilly Isles held attention with an Arctic Warbler on St Agnes and another brief view of the suspected Eleonora's Falcon on St Mary's; the fourth such sighting in a week.

The Glossy Ibis at Swadlincote, Derbyshire was confirmed but then promptly flew off over Burton-upon-Trent, Staffordshire and a juvenile Red-footed Falcon was reported at Kidwelly, Carmarthenshire.

Lingering Nearctic waders included both Least Sandpiper and Wilson's Phalarope in Cornwall whilst a Spotted Sandpiper at Sutton Bingham Reservoir, Somerset and a Baird's Sandpiper at Cross Lough, Co Mayo were new discoveries.
