Tuesday 19th September 2006
	A reasonably quiet day compared to days of late with the only new rarities being an American Golden Plover and Bonaparte's Gull in Co. Kerry and a White-winged Black Tern at Whittle Dene Reservoirs (Northumberland). In Scilly the Arctic Warbler remained on St. Agnes with other remaining popular rarities included the Least Sandpiper and Wilson's Phalarope in Cornwall, Black-headed Bunting in Shetland, Lesser Yellowlegs in Aberdeenshire and Bonaparte's Gull in Northumberland. Other new birds worthy of mention include a Short-toed Lark on Bardsey Island (Gwynedd), Ortolan Bunting on Noss (Shetland), Tawny Pipit at Tacumshin (Co. Wexford) and Spotted Crake at Marton Mere LNR (Lancs).
