Monday 24th September 2007  
  In Cornwall a Wilson's Petrel passing St Ives Island was the highlight of a productive day for seawatching with, elsewhere in the county, a Black Kite seen near Antony.

On the Shetland Isles the American Buff-bellied Pipit remained on Fair Isle as did the Arctic Warbler on Out Skerries, King Eider and Common Rosefinch both at Wester Quarff and another Common Rosefinch was on Unst.

On the Isles of Scilly the Citrine Wagtail remained on Tresco along with both Pectoral Sandpiper and Lapland Bunting. The Spotted Sandpiper showed again on St Mary's as did the Woodchat Shrike on St Martin's with a Pectoral Sandpiper on St Agnes and a Wryneck on Bryher.

Elsewhere, Long-billed Dowitchers remained in Lincolnshire and Norfolk, Wilson's Phalaropes in Worcestershire and County Down and Great White Egrets in Hampshire and County Londonderry with the Cattle Egret still in Highland and the American Golden Plover on the Western Isles.

Late news was received of an American Buff-bellied Pipit found aboard a boat around 150 miles north northwest of the Butt of Lewis, Western Isles on Thursday that, sadly, later died.
