Sunday 5th August 2007  
  The highlights of the day were the relocation of both the Oxfordshire Marsh Sandpiper (now at Farmoor Reservoir) and the Ceredigion Gull-billed Tern (see at Ynyslas) along with the reappearance of the Hudsonian Whimbrel on Walney Island, Cumbria.

Otherwise, a White-winged Black Tern was discovered at East Chevington, Northumberland in the evening and brief encounters included Wilson's Petrels off the Isles of Scilly, Pembrokeshire and Co Clare, an Alpine Swift in Flintshire and both Red-footed Falcon and Black Kite in Kent.

Lingering rarities confirmed as still present included the Black Kite in Lincolnshire, Laughing Gull in Devon, Squacco Heron in Co Derry, Spotted Sandpiper in Co Clare, Bonaparte's Gull on Western Isles, Glossy Ibis in Merseyside and the Ferruginous Duck in Somerset.
