	Today's star find was an Aquatic Warbler that showed on and off throughout the afternoon and into the evening at Uskmouth Nature Reserve, Gwent. A Citrine Wagtail was a new discovery on Foula (along with four Buff-breasted Sandpipers and a couple of Pectoral Sandpipers) and an American Golden Plover arrived in Co Wexford. In Cornwall the Black Stork showed again in the Polgigga area and on Shetland the Baird's Sandpiper was still at Esha Ness, Mainland. Great White Egrets continued to perform at Leighton Moss RSPB, Lancashire and Westhay Moor, Somerset and in Cleveland the eclipse drake Blue-winged Teal remained at Haverton Hole. The Wilson's Phalarope remained at Belfast Lough RSPB, Co Down and in Highland a probable Little Shearwater lingered at the Loch Fleet mouth for half an hour early afternoon. A Purple Heron was at Thrapston Gravel Pits, Northamptonshire and Pectoral Sandpipers were in Shropshire, Kent, Western Isles, Leicestershire, West Sussex and Clyde. A Barred Warbler was at Winterton, Norfolk and a Red-necked Phalarope was discovered at Gibraltar Point NNR, Lincolnshire. In Glamorgan there was an unconfirmed report of an Audouin's Gull past Sker Point this morning; unfortunately, photographs of the reported Audouin's Gull in Somerset show an aberrant Herring Gull.
