	The hottest news on a quiet summer day was of a 1st-summer male Red-footed Falcon in Suffolk; it flew south over Landguard NR early morning. In Lancashire a White-winged Black Tern was reported flying north off Blackpool and in neighbouring Cumbria the Hudsonian Whimbrel showed well on Walney Island during the morning and again this evening. In Cleveland the Great White Egret was on Dorman's Pool for its second day and the first-summer Bonaparte's Gull remained on South Uist, Western Isles. Nearby, the presumed Ashy-headed Wagtail remained on Benbecula but at Titchwell, Norfolk, the Little Bittern failed to make an appearance all day. A Black-throated Diver at Draycote Water, Warwickshire, was an excellent find, which proved popular with locals.
