Sunday 6th July 2008  
  The adult Terek Sandpiper remained at the Saltholme Pool complex, Cleveland all day, usually preferring the Calor Gas Pool, just north of Port Clarence.

Other rarities sighted today include the adult Lesser Yellowlegs at Cley NWT, Norfolk, White-billed Diver on South Ronaldsay, Orkney, Forster's Tern at Tacumshin, County Wexford and a new Cattle Egret at Newport Wetlands, Gwent.

Once again, good numbers of seabirds included forty-six Cory's Shearwaters west of St Mary's, Isles of Scilly, and Roseate Terns and Spoonbills were also seen around the country.

Rose-coloured Starlings remained in Aberdeenshire and Orkney, and the male Red-backed Shrike continued its long stay in Norfolk.
