Tuesday 1st July 2008
	The highlight of the day was the discovery of a Red-footed Falcon on Stronsay, Orkney Isles. Elsewhere, lingering rarities comprised the Lesser Yellowlegs in Norfolk, Glossy Ibis in Merseyside and Hooded Merganser in Dorset. Rose-coloured Starlings continue to be found with news today of new birds in Moray and the Orkney Isles, with three present around this archipelago today bringing the national tally to 33 this summer. Scarce migrants included a Golden Oriole in Kent, Common Rosefinch in Forth and Pectoral Sandpiper in Carmarthenshire.
