| A Little Swift made a brief appearance on St Agnes, Isles of Scilly,
before flying towards Gugh. This is the third record for the archipelago,
following singles in May 2002 and April 2003. The islands also continued to host
the Squacco Heron on St Mary's.
In Cornwall a drake Black Duck accompanied Mallards at Colliford Lake on Bodmin Moor. Elsewhere Bee-eaters were seen at Reculver, Kent and Flamborough Head, East Yorkshire and a Black Kite was near Aldbrough St John, North Yorkshire.
