	Another quiet day, with the only new rarities reported being three Wilson's Petrels from the pelagic trip off the Isles of Scilly. The Terek Sandpiper remained at Saltholme Pools in Cleveland, although it is proving more elusive as it is spending large amounts of time feeding at low tide away from the pools. The White-billed Diver remained on South Ronaldsay in the Orkneys, where a Common Rosefinch was a surprise find on North Ronaldsay. The Glossy Ibis could still be found at Marshside Marsh in Merseyside. In the south west small numbers of Balearic Shearwaters and Storm Petrels were again seen, and on the east coast sightings of Roseate Terns continued to increase with up to 16 birds reported.
