Wednesday 20th June 2007
	The highlight of the day was the discovery of a Whiskered Tern at Siddick Pond, Cumbria mid afternoon. This bird remained until dusk unlike the Hudsonian Whimbrel on nearby Walney Island which, following an early morning sighting, could not be relocated. The singing male Little Bittern remained elusive at Titchwell, Norfolk as did the Great Reed Warbler at Lydd, Kent. The Little Crake continued to be seen on Unst, Shetland Isles and the Bonaparte's Gull showed again on South Uist, Western Isles. Late news was received of a male Harlequin Duck seen at St Kilda, Western Isles on Monday; the first breeding plumage male to been seen in the British Isles since 1965.
