Thursday 23rd August 2007  
  The best bird of the day was on Shetland where a juvenile Pallid Harrier was found in the Loch of Spiggie area of Mainland. Elsewhere the east coast continued to host migrants from Scandinavia with Greenish Warblers in Norfolk at Blakeney, Holkham and Weybourne, along with four Red-backed Shrikes and two Wrynecks in Norfolk, and two Red-backed Shrikes in Lincolnshire. A Great White Egret was found at the Cotswold Water Park in Wiltshire and in East Yorkshire a Ferruginous Duck was confirmed at Hornsea Mere after poor views yesterday evening.

In Dorset the White-rumped Sandpiper remained in Poole Harbour and White-winged Black Terns could still be found at Dungeness in Kent and Minsmere in Suffolk. Red-necked Phalaropes were at Keyhaven Marshes in Hampshire and Cantley Beet Factory in Norfolk. Seawatching along the east coast produced a smattering of Sabine's Gulls and Long-tailed Skuas. A belated report came of a Black Stork over Calne in Wiltshire on 13th August.
