Saturday 7th July 2007  
  A quite quiet day on the rarity front today, new rarities being the belated news of the discovery of an adult Spotted Sandpiper in North Yorkshire on a private site, though there was no sign of it today.  The only other new rarities to be reported were a probable American Herring Gull in Cornwall and brief view of a possible Chimney Swift in Northumberland.

Other rarities today were the Hudsonian Whimbrel still in Cumbria, Bonaparte's Gull on South Uist, King Eider in Argyll, Lesser Yellowlegs in Co. Wicklow,  Great White Egret in Clyde and the Ferruginous Duck still in Somerset.

Sea watching in the south and west today produced a couple of Cory's Shearwaters, Sooty Shearwater, a couple of Pomarine Skuas and again good numbers of Balearic Shearwaters and Storm Petrels.
