Friday 24th August 2007  
  North Norfolk was the centre of attention today with thirteen Greenish Warblers recorded between Holme and Sea Palling alongside a supporting cast of six Red-backed Shrikes, three Barred Warblers, three Wrynecks and singles of Icterine Warbler, Spotted Crake and Red-necked Phalarope. Elsewhere, associated arrivals included single Greenish Warblers in both Suffolk and Kent as well as a further thirteen Wrynecks, four Red-backed Shrikes and a Hoopoe.

Other fresh discoveries included a Wilson's Phalarope at Willen Lake, Buckinghamshire (suspected to be the individual present recently in both Co Durham and North Yorkshire), an American Golden Plover at Cromane Co Kerry, White-winged Black Tern at Abberton Reservoir Essex, Great White Egret at Lodmoor Dorset and - in pride of place - a Fea's Petrel seen this evening from the Isle of Lewis, Western Isles.

The Black Stork showed again on Anglesey as did the Great White Egret in Wiltshire, Glossy Ibis in Merseyside, Long-billed Dowitcher in Co Clare, two Wilson’s Petrels off the Isles of Scilly, single White-rumped Sandpipers in both Aberdeenshire and Dorset and Ferruginous Ducks in East Yorkshire and Somerset.
