Wednesday 15th April 2009  
  The common hirundines continued to move north today, bringing with them three Red-rumped Swallows, in Highland, Wirral and Norfolk, and a probable Crag Martin at Attenborough Nature Reserve, Nottinghamshire. An Alpine Swift was seen briefly in Lancashire, a Subalpine Warbler was in County Cork and single Black Kites were in East Sussex and on the Staffordshire /Derbyshire border.

Lingering rarities included the White-throated Sparrow in Hampshire, Bonaparte's Gull in Oxfordshire, American Golden Plover in Norfolk, White-billed Divers in Highland and Orkney, and Lesser Scaups in East Yorkshire, Glamorgan and Forth. A probable Glaucous-winged Gull was reported from Dumfries and Galloway.

The Great White Egret remained in Clyde and Cattle Egrets were still present in Cornwall, Devon and County Cork.
