Tuesday 11th September 2007  
  The highlight of the day was a Fea's Petrel watched distantly from Whitburn, County Durham in the early evening. A Booted Warbler was discovered on Barra, Western Isles and - following a late report from the Isle of Sheppey, Kent yesterday - a mobile Black Stork was present near Polgigga, Cornwall this evening.

The Audouin's Gull reappeared briefly in the evening at Hinkley Point, Somerset and the Baird's Sandpiper remained on the Shetland Isles as did the Wilson's Phalarope in County Down, Spotted Sandpiper on the Isles of Scilly, American Golden Plover on Orkney Isles, Glossy Ibis in Merseyside and Great White Egrets in both Lancashire and Somerset.

Great Shearwaters were again delighting North Sea seawatchers with county totals comprising: Orkney Isles (72), East Yorkshire (35), Northumberland (13) and three each in County Durham, Norfolk and North Yorkshire. Sabine’s Gulls were associated with this movement with several seen between East Yorkshire and Kent, including six passing Sheringham, Norfolk.
