Monday 16th June 2008  
  Amongst the rarities today the highlights were the continued presence of the River Warbler in Evie on the Orkney Isles, Red-footed Falcon in Suffolk at Lakenheath Fen and the family of party of three Black-winged Stilts at Neumann’s Flash, Cheshire. Brief encounters included a Black Stork over Brighton, East Sussex and single Bee-eaters in Cornwall at Land's End and Norfolk at Winterton.

Scarcities were represented by Red-breasted Flycatcher in Dorset, Night Heron in Cambridgeshire, Short-toed Lark on the Orkney Isles, Hoopoe in South Yorkshire, Red-backed Shrike in West Sussex and both Red-backed Shrike and Marsh Warbler together in Norfolk.

Once again, Crossbills were in evidence with 131 migrants reported from seven English counties.
