Thursday 4th October 2007  
  The main birds today were the Brown Flycatcher in Yorkshire, with the Turkestan Shrike just up the road, and a back up of three Blyth's Reed Warblers, American Buff-bellied Pipit on Scilly, and Subalpine Warbler and Lesser Grey Shrike in Norfolk.

Lingering rarities in Shetland included Spotted Sandpipers on Unst and Yell, and American Buff-bellied Pipit on Fair Isle, along with good numbers of scarce migrants.

A Raddes Warbler was trapped and ringed at Donna Nook, Lincolnshire, an adult American Golden Plover was found in Lothian, whilst in Ireland a Sharp-tailed Sandpiper and a Semipalmated Sandpiper were the highlights, along with a Baird's Sandpiper.

Very good numbers of Yellow-browed Warblers continued to be found all down the east coast, along with other scarce migrants.
