Tuesday 8th July 2008  
  Lingering rarities proved to be the highlight of the day with the elusive Terek Sandpiper still in Cleveland, White-billed Diver on the Orkney Isles, Glossy Ibis in Merseyside and Hooded Merganser in Dorset. In Norfolk a Black Kite flew over Fakenham.

Scarcities were represented by a Rose-coloured Starling on the Orkney Isles, Red-backed Shrike in Norfolk, Common Rosefinches in both Fife and Forth and Pectoral Sandpipers in both Cheshire and Merseyside.
