Friday 27th July 2007  
  A sighting of a probable Chimney Swift over Conwy RSPB, Conwy this morning, followed hot on the heels of the lingering individual in York - unfortunately the North Wales bird did not hang around. Elsewhere in the Northwest the adult Lesser Yellowlegs remained at Leighton Moss RSPB, Lancashire, the Glossy Ibis was still at Marshside RSPB, Merseyside and the Hudsonian Whimbrel was seen again on Walney Island, Cumbria.

On Orkney a Buff-breasted Sandpiper was on North Ronaldsay, and nearby, the summering Lesser Grey Shrike was still on Fair Isle, Shetland. On the Western Isles the Bonaparte's Gull was on South Uist.

A Great White Egret briefly graced the Middlebere area of Poole Harbour, Dorset, and in Kent the adult female Ferruginous Duck returned to New Hythe Gravel Pits. In Cornwall a Rose-coloured Starling was mobile in the Land's End complex and in Lincolnshire the Black Kite remained at Nocton Fen.

An evening pelagic off the Isles of Scilly produced three Wilson's Petrels, Great Shearwater and a couple of Sabine's Gulls.
