  Highlights today included a Killdeer at Exnaboe, Shetland Isles, a Snowy Owl on North Uist, Western Isles, a Ferruginous Duck at Staines Reservoir, Surrey, a Woodchat Shrike at Sheringham, Norfolk and a showy Bee-eater at East Newton, East Yorkshire.

The Squacco Heron remained on the Isles of Scilly as did the Semipalmated Sandpiper in Co Down, Laughing Gull in Devon, two Glossy Ibises in Gloucestershire and both Iberian Chiffchaff and Bonaparte's Gull in Norfolk.

Inland English counties witnessed a considerable arrival off passage waders including Sanderling and Turnstone at many sites, whilst coastal sites in Yorkshire recorded a substantial fall of migrant passerines.
