Continuing spring rarities comprised a Red-breasted Flycatcher at Hilbre Island, Wirral, the territorial Iberian Chiffchaff at Colney, Norfolk and Glossy Ibises remaining at Slimbridge, Gloucestershire (17) and The Lizard, Cornwall (7) with a further bird reported yesterday at West Alvington, Devon.

Winter birds hanging on included the Forster's Tern in Co Galway, Laughing Gull in Devon, Spotted Sandpiper in Cornwall, King Eider in Moray and both White-billed Diver and American Herring Gull on the Western Isles.
