Sunday 30th September 2007  
  A Grey-cheeked Thrush was new in on Fair Isle, Shetland, as was a Blyth's Reed Warbler with a remaining Lanceolated Warbler along with plenty of scarce migrants. The Swainson's Thrush remained on Fetlar, Shetland, whilst, elsewhere, Shetland still hosted Spotted, White-rumped and Buff-breasted Sandpipers, a Sardinian Warbler and the long-staying Killdeer. A Citrine Wagtail was found on North Ronaldsay, Orkney.

A Blyth's Reed Warbler was an excellent find in Norfolk at Gramborough Hill, and a Subalpine Warbler and Radde's Warbler were also noteworthy. The Long-billed Dowitcher remained at Bough Beech Reservoir, Kent. A Lesser Scaup was found at Blagdon Lake, Somerset, and a Baird's Sandpiper was on the Ythan Estuary, Aberdeenshire. In County Cork a Red-throated Pipit flew over Mizen Head.

The Isabelline Shrike remained near Flamborough, Yorkshire, with the Buff-bellied Pipit still on Scilly, and three Greenish Warblers in Yorkshire, Norfolk and Kent. At least four Great White Egrets were seen around England, but there was no sign today of the Paddyfield Warbler in Kent or the Blyth's Reed Warbler in Northumberland.
