Monday 23rd June 2008  
  Bird of the day was surely the male Sardinian Warbler at Flamborough Head, Yorkshire. Unfortunately, the bird stayed just five minutes, allowing only the finders to enjoy it. Elsewhere, a Black Stork was seen to fly over Dancersend, Buckinghamshire late morning. This is perhaps the individual seen in the same county on 9th June.

Just one lingering rarity was recorded, the Lesser Grey Shrike at Hickling, Norfolk continued to show well, with the male Red-backed Shrike also still nearby, at Sea Palling.

Scarcities included the male Common Rosefinch at Tyndrum, Forth, still visiting the feeders at the Real Food Cafe intermittently. The long staying male Corncrake was heard to sing a few times this evening at Hurst, Berkshire, and the second-summer Night Heron was re-located at Earith, Cambridgeshire, a few hundred yards from where it was last seen on the 18th.

At least 73 Common Crossbills were seen, as the influx continues across England.
