Saturday 6th October 2007  
  An intriguing report surfaced from Shetland this evening, of a Dendroica species at Kergord, Mainland. No further details were available, but from a description the bird may well have been a Bay-breasted Warbler. Also on Shetland were several long staying rarities including Killdeer, Arctic Redpoll, Spotted Sandpiper and Olive-backed Pipit.


Several Blyth's Reed Warblers were found, including at least one at Spurn, Yorkshire, one at Flamborough Head, Yorkshire, as well as two or three possibles around the country.


Greenish Warblers and Hume's Yellow-browed Warblers were reported from Wells and Holkham, Norfolk, joining double figures of Yellow-browed Warblers.


An American Golden Plover showed well on Tiree, Argyll, as did a Great White Egret in Dorset, but a probable Pratincole species failed to reappear near Norwich, Norfolk. A Buff-bellied Pipit was in County Cork, and a Lesser Yellowlegs was found on Orkney.
