Tuesday 31st July 2007  
  The highlight of the day was a Black Stork on the Alaw Estuary, Anglesey. Discovered in the early morning, the bird remained on show until dusk to the delight of many. Perhaps the same Black Stork had been seen on Thursday in Wiltshire and on Sunday near Shrewsbury, Shropshire.

Elsewhere, a White-rumped Sandpiper briefly joined a Pectoral Sandpiper at Thorganby Ings, North Yorkshire, a Wilson's Petrel showed from an evening pelagic off the Isles of Scilly and four Glossy Ibises were seen in flight over Southport, Merseyside.

The Roller was seen again briefly at Usk Reservoir, Carmarthenshire and the White-rumped Sandpiper reappeared on the Ythan Estuary, Aberdeenshire whilst more obliging lingering rarities included the Black Kite in Lincolnshire, Hudsonian Whimbrel in Cumbria and Bonaparte's Gull on the Western Isles.
