Monday 21st July 2008  
  An American Golden Plover was found in Argyll, on the Add Estuary at Crinan, but unfortunately it did not stay long. Other brief new rarities were a Black Stork near Braintree in Essex and two Wilson's Petrels seen from the evening pelagic off the Scillies. The Glossy Ibis could still be found at Marshside Marsh in Merseyside, but few other rarities were lingering.

Rose-coloured Starlings were at Lewis on the Western Isles still, with the bird at Hayle in Cornwall also reported again. A Hoopoe was well watched at Dunnington near York and four Pectoral Sandpipers could be found: in Essex, Norfolk, Leicestershire and South Yorkshire. A Ring-necked Duck was still at Linlithgow Loch in Lothian.
