Wednesday 23rd July 2008  
  An adult Caspian Tern was discovered at Collingham Gravel-pits, Nottinghamshire mid afternoon, and proceeded to show well until 7.45pm. It was, however, very mobile, and flew off, mainly north, several times, only to return a short while later. This is potentially the same bird as was seen at Old Moor RSPB, Yorkshire on the 15th July.

The Black Stork made another appearance in Essex, circling briefly over Shoeburyness, Southend-on-Sea mid evening. The adult White-rumped Sandpiper remained on Cley North Scrape, Norfolk, with other lingerers including the Lesser Scaup at Balgray Reservoir, Clyde, Glossy Ibis at Marshside RSPB, Merseyside, and two Great White Egrets flew over Portland Bill, Dorset.

Five Pectoral Sandpipers were seen, in Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, Yorkshire and Leicestershire, and a Ring-necked Duck was at Loch Gelly, Fife.
