Sunday 27th July 2008  
  The Northern Isles delivered today, with Shetland attracting a Two-barred Crossbill, on Fair Isle, and Orkney had an adult Pacific Golden Plover on North Ronaldsay.

Further south, a Glossy Ibis was on the East Yorkshire coast in the Spurn area until mid afternoon. The Marshside RSPB, Merseyside ibis was not seen today, despite searching; could it be that its long stay has ended?

A Great White Egret was seen at Trimley Marshes SWT, Suffolk, with another at Loughor, Glamorgan. Two Wilson's Petrels were seen from a boat NNW of Padstow, Cornwall, whilst longer staying rarities included White-rumped Sandpiper at Cley NWT, Norfolk, Ferruginous Duck at Chew Valley Lake, Somerset, King Eider at Tacumshin, County Wexford and the Glossy Ibis remained for its 4th day at Ennis, County Clare.
