Tuesday 15th May 2007  
  The highlight of the day was the news of the return of the territorial Scops Owl to Thrupp, Oxfordshire. First heard singing by local residents last Saturday it was confirmed by birders today, and it will hopefully remain there until at least late June. Elsewhere, a male Subalpine Warbler was a new discovery at Sennen, Cornwall.

In East Yorkshire the Bee-eater remained overnight at Aldbrough with other lingering rarities including the Squacco Heron on the Isles of Scilly, Semipalmated Sandpiper in Co Down and both Killdeer and Great White Egret on the Shetland Isles.

In East Anglia, Norfolk continued to host the Bonaparte's Gull, a Black Kite and the singing male Iberian Chiffchaff whilst in Suffolk another potential Iberian Chiffchaff was singing at Lavenham - having already been present there for several weeks.
