| A quieter day than of late with a brief Great White Egret at Burton Marsh, Cheshire and a flyover
Bee-eater at Winterton, Norfolk being the most notable discoveries. Elsewhere in Norfolk the
Broad-billed Sandpiper remained at Breydon Water in the morning, the Black Kite
showed again at North Creake, the Iberian Chiffchaff remained on territory at Colney and a male
Red-backed Shrike showed well at Weybourne Camp. Other lingering rarities included the Scops Owl at Thrupp Oxfordshire, Snowy Owl on North Uist Western Isles, Squacco Heron on St Mary's Isle of Scilly and American Golden Plover at Farlington Marshes, Hampshire. Other notables included the Woodchat Shrike still at Sidlesham, West Sussex, four Purple Herons remaining at Minsmere, Suffolk and a Night Heron present at Castleford, West Yorkshire. |

| 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. |
