  Birders at Spurn, East Yorkshire scored a remarkable double this afternoon. The Pacific Swift first seen on Sunday made another appearance, this time flying south then back north and then within a matter of minutes a Little Swift flew south over The Triangle. Large numbers of Swifts have been moving south in recent days, with at least 11,500 logged over Spurn yesterday.

A singing male Eastern Subalpine Warbler was discovered on Portland, Dorset and in Hampshire a Black Kite flew over Overton. In Anglesey the American Golden Plover remained on the Alaw Estuary and in Norfolk the Lesser Yellowlegs was still at Cley NWT.
