Friday 5th September 2008  
  New today was an adult American Golden Plover on Tiree, Argyll this afternoon. The further three new rarities were all Cattle Egrets, with birds discovered in Cumbria and Carmarthenshire, and a belated report from Wiltshire on Wednesday.

Remaining rarities included the Semipalmated Sandpiper at Dawlish Warren, Devon, Aquatic Warbler at Rainham Marshes, London, Citrine Wagtails on Scilly and Shetland, White-winged Black Terns in Kent, Staffordshire and Flintshire and a White-rumped Sandpiper at Titchwell, Norfolk.

The majority of the rest of today's messages concerned the continued arrival of Grey Phalaropes, with at least seven reported from inland sites, and many more at the coast, along with a scattering of Long-tailed Skuas, Pomarine Skuas, Sabine's Gulls and the scarcer shearwater species'. Small numbers of Barred Warblers and Wrynecks were also reported, along with a Tawny Pipit in Dorset and a Dotterel on Scilly.
