  The highlight of the day was a Black Stork watched circling over Bough Beech Reservoir, Kent before drifting off only to be relocated briefly over Eastry. Nearby, an Alpine Swift flew over Sandwich Bay. Single Great White Egrets were found at Wards Pond, Clyde and Loch Doon, Ayrshire.

The Hudsonian Whimbrel remained on Walney Island, Cumbria and late news from Scotland concerned the continued presence of the Subalpine Warbler on the Isle of May, Fife yesterday and a Dark-eyed Junco on 23rd June at Kylesku, Highland.

Seawatchers enjoyed two Wilson's Petrels off Bridges of Ross, Co Clare whilst in southwest England 55 Cory's Shearwaters passed Porthgwarra with a further 17 seen from St Mary's, Isles of Scilly.
