	There was an unconfirmed report of a White-tailed Plover in Cambridgeshire today, seen in flight between Swaffham Prior and Swaffham Bulbeck. Elsewhere, the Caspian Tern put in another appearance on The Fylde in Lancashire, this time it was seen briefly at Lytham St.Anne's, before flying off. In Norfolk, a Black Kite flew over the A149 west of Holkham in the afternoon, whilst the Hudsonian Whimbrel could still be found at at Walney Island in Cumbria. Both of the Great White Egrets found in Scotland yesterday were still present today, one in Ayrshire and one near Loch Lomond in Clyde, and on the Isle of May, the female Subalpine Warbler remained, albeit somewhat elusively. Seawatching along western approaches continued to yield Storm Petrels in small numbers, but off Portland there were over 90 Balearic Shearwaters and 5,000 Manx Shearwaters.
