  A sighting of either a Red-headed Bunting or Black-headed Bunting at Portland, Dorset early this morning was a good start to the day, but it wasn't seen after 6.30am. The male River Warbler remained on Orkney, at Evie, and the adult summer Forster's Tern was seen again at Tacumshin, County Wexford. A Bee-eater was heard to fly over Truro, Cornwall mid-morning, and a Great White Egret left the roost at Rye Harbour NR, East Sussex.

The north-east coast continued to produce some good seabirds, including a Cory's Shearwater in Northumberland, past St Mary's Island and Seaton Sluice, Long-tailed Skua and Pomarine Skua past Whitburn, County Durham and still very good numbers of Manx Shearwaters moving past.
