Wednesday 16th July 2008  
  Tacumshin in County Wexford hosted a new White-rumped Sandpiper, which, along with a Pectoral Sandpiper and the King Eider (now present for it's fifth day) made it today's rarity hotspot. Elsewhere a new Cattle Egret was at Siblyback Reservoir in Cornwall and the White-winged Black Tern was seen again at Rye Harbour in Sussex.

Lingering rarities included the White-rumped Sandpiper at Minsmere in Suffolk and the smart White-billed Diver in Orkney. The long staying Glossy Ibis in the north-west moved to Inner Marsh Farm in Cheshire today.

Rose-coloured Starlings were on the Western Isles and in Aberdeenshire, with another in Highland yesterday.
