Saturday 20th September 2008  
  On Orkney, the male Cretzschmar's Bunting remained on North Ronaldsay, and showed well to those lucky enough to make it onto the island. Nearby, a Paddyfield Warbler arrived on Shetland, found at the Virkie Willows this evening. At the other end of the country, an Aquatic Warbler was trapped and ringed at Slapton Ley, Devon, whilst in the east, an Isabelline Wheatear was reported from Salthouse, Norfolk.

The Greater Sand Plover relocated today, found further south at Dunbar, Lothian, although it disappeared after mid afternoon. Single Red-footed Falcons were seen in Hampshire, Cambridgeshire and Yorkshire, and the Wilson's Phalarope was still at Alkborough Flats, Lincolnshire. In Ireland, Semipalmated Sandpiper, Baird's Sandpiper and White-rumped Sandpiper were all seen, along with the long staying Snowy Owl.
