	This evening's pelagic from the Isles of Scilly did not visit the same area that produced last night's Madeiran Petrel, and, although a Wilson's Petrel was seen, many will wonder if tomorrow's trip will find the Madeiran again, as it is due to visit the same area. Also on a negative note there was no sign of yesterday's reported Eleonora's Falcon in Northamptonshire and a Roller seen early in the morning at Usk Reservoir in Carmarthenshire could not be found later in the day. An Alpine Swift over Lodmoor in Dorset in the afternoon was equally un-obliging. More obliging were new White-rumped Sandpipers found at the Ythan Estuary in Aberdeenshire and Anthorn in Cumbria. A probable first summer male Red-footed Falcon flew over Titchfield Haven in Hampshire with another bird still present on the Isle of Wight. A Buff-breasted Sandpiper was a popular find at Patrington in Yorkshire, while a Woodchat  Shrike also remained popular in Somerset. A Great White Egret was found on the Esk Estuary in Cumbria, but it did not stay long.
