Tuesday 20th May 2008  
  Belated news from Saturday concerned a White-crowned Sparrow in Fife, which was photographed in a garden but not seen since. Today's new rarities included a first-summer Bonaparte's Gull in Devon this evening, off Exminster Marshes RSPB, and then at Bowling Green Marsh RSPB, an adult White-tailed Eagle was near Braintree, Essex, a Great Reed Warbler was at Amwell Gravel-pits, Hertfordshire and new Red-footed Falcons were in Cornwall (two) and Essex, with six other birds still lingering.

Subalpine Warblers were at Wester Quarff, Shetland and Gorran Haven, Cornwall, with a Bee-eater in Somerset, Little Bittern still in Devon, King Eiders in Ayrshire and on Shetland and the male Snowy Owl remained on North Uist. A Broad-billed Sandpiper was present yesterday in Lincolnshire, at Alkborough Flats.
