  The run of Mega's over the last couple of days continued today, with an Eastern Bonelli's Warbler on Portland, Dorset, just a few hundred yards from where the male Collared Flyctatcher continued to sing. The Crested Lark was still in Kent, and started to show a little better, although it remained highly mobile, and a juvenile Pallid Harrier was seen in Norfolk, watched flying over the observer's garden in Aylmerton, and later over Sheringham.

A Savi's Warbler in Essex sang almost all day, for its second day, and may become the first widely twitchable bird for several years. New Red-rumped Swallows were found in Kent and Shetland, an Alpine Swift was in Lincolnshire, a White-billed Diver was in Moray and the Pallid Swift reappeared in Merseyside.
