	A Laughing Gull on Benbecula, Western Isles was a new discovery as was a brief Black Kite in Northamptonshire, whilst another Black Kite lingered around Aylmerton, Norfolk for much of the day. A Pallas's Warbler at Freiston Shore, Lincolnshire represented a great spring find. The Wilson's Phalarope in Cambridgeshire continued to perform, as did Bonaparte's Gulls in both Oxfordshire and Co Wexford. The Red-rumped Swallow was seen again in Lincolnshire and the probable Balearic Woodchat Shrike remained in Cornwall. Long-staying rarities included the Iberian Chiffchaff still on territory in Norfolk and the seventeen Glossy Ibises and the Marbled Duck together in Gloucestershire.
