Sunday 9th September 2007  
  Most of today's news was created by lingering rarities - in fact, the only new rarities were a Great White Egret at Westhay Moor, Somerset and a Black Kite in Co Wexford (for its second day).

The Blue-winged Teal in Cleveland, American Golden Plover in Lincolnshire, Wilson's Phalarope in Co Down, Lesser Yellowlegs in Co Donegal, Great White Egret in Lancashire and Glossy Ibis in Merseyside all remained on show.

In Norfolk the Red-necked Phalarope at Buckenham Marshes and Pectoral Sandpiper at Titchwell both proved to be popular attractions, whilst in Lincolnshire a Barred Warbler was at Saltfleet Haven and in East Sussex a Woodchat Shrike was at Beachy Head. Buff-breasted Sandpipers arrived in Cornwall, Devon, Argyll and Co Galway and a handful of Spotted Crakes remained in situ. A couple of Temminck's Stints were in Hampshire and a juvenile Dotterel reappeared at Oare Marshes KWT, Kent. Wrynecks appeared on Isles of Scilly and Lancashire and in Somerset the Purple Heron was still at Aller Moor.
