	Whiskered Terns continued to be popular, with new locations today being Rutland Water, Leicestershire (3), and Paxton Pits NR, Cambridgeshire. Two Red-rumped Swallows were in East Yorkshire, at Beverley and Atwick, and another was at Rowlands Gill, County Durham. A Black Kite was seen this evening on Shetland. The Subalpine Warbler remained at Uskmouth, Gwent, although it seems to be getting more elusive by the day. The Lesser Scaup was seen in Glamorgan, as was the Ferruginous Duck in Somerset and Cattle Egret in Lancashire. Purple Herons were seen in Norfolk and London, a Wryneck was in Suffolk and a Woodchat Shrike was in Devon.
