Saturday 14th July 2007  
  The highlight of the day was the discovery of an unseasonal Dark-eyed Junco in Langham, Norfolk. Found visiting the gardens of keen birders, access was hastily arranged and several hundred visiting birders were able to see this county first.

In Northumberland a frustratingly mobile Caspian Tern visited Big Waters, Bothal Pond and Blyth but did not linger anywhere. In Cornwall a Long-billed Dowitcher arrived on the Hayle Estuary whilst a Lesser Yellowlegs was found at Rogerstown Estuary, Co Dublin and an Alpine Swift flew over Tidworth, Wiltshire. A Pacific Golden Plover was present briefly on the remote Monach Isles, Western Isles.

The Hudsonian Whimbrel remained on Walney Island, Cumbria as did both the Glossy Ibis at Marshside, Merseyside and Ferruginous Duck at Chew Valley Lake, Somerset.
