Monday 25th June 2007  
  Today's rarity hotspot was west Norfolk, with the Alpine Swift first seen last night at Titchwell being re-found at Hunstanton in the morning. It had roosted on the cliffs there last night and showed well around the lighthouse both in the morning and again in the evening, where it has hopefully gone to roost again. Nearby the Little Bittern again put in an erratic performance at Titchwell, but it did show very well in the early morning. Also in west Norfolk an adult White-winged Black Tern was a new find at Welney Wildfowl Reserve.

A female American Wigeon was found at Porthmadog in Gwynedd, three drake Surf Scoters were off Murcar in Aberdeenshire, and in Staffordshire the moulting drake Ring-necked Duck was still at Blithfield Reservoir. In the south west, numbers of both Balearic Shearwaters and Storm Petrels were seen at scattered localities around the coast.
