Thursday 2nd August 2007  
  The major talking point of the day was the identification of an elusive warbler in the Chinatown district of Manchester city centre, Greater Manchester. Believed in the field to be either an Eastern Olivaceous Warbler or Sykes's Warbler it is hoped that the true identification can be ascertained from photographs. Another identification headache remained in Glamorgan in the form of the reported Redhead still present at Kenfig Pool.

Three Black Kites comprised the long-staying individual at Nocton Heath, Lincolnshire and singles seen in flight at South Gare, Cleveland and Paignton, Devon.

Otherwise, the Black Stork remained on the Alaw Estuary, Anglesey as did the Long-billed Dowitcher at Shannon Airport Lagoon, Co Clare. Five Kentish Plovers were found, one at Kenfig, Glamorgan and four together at Ferrybridge, Dorset.
