Wednesday 4th June 2008
	The highlight of the day was the discovery of a Citrine Wagtail at Caerlaverock, Dumfries and Galloway. Elsewhere, new rarities were represented by a Dusky Warbler in Norfolk on Blakeney Point, a brief Bee-eater in Cornwall at Coverack and on the Shetland Isles a Thrush Nightingale on Foula and a Black-headed Bunting on Fetlar. Single Great White Egrets were seen in Derbyshire at Ogston Reservoir, London at Rainham Marshes and in Suffolk at North Warren. Lingering rarities were headlined by the Trumpeter Finch still in Norfolk whilst the Lesser Grey Shrike remained in Northumberland, Wilson's Phalarope in Merseyside, Bonaparte's Gull in Highland, Whiskered Tern and American Golden Plover in Kent and the family party of three Black-winged Stilts in Cheshire. Red-footed Falcons were recorded in Bedfordshire, Berkshire, Kent (2), Lothian, the Shetland Isles and Suffolk. Scarce migrants were represented by 15 Red-backed Shrikes, ten Marsh Warblers, six Icterine Warblers, four Common Rosefinches, two each of Rose-coloured Starling, Hoopoe and Golden Oriole and single Temminck's Stint and Grey-headed Wagtail.
