  A Marsh Sandpiper was seen in Essex at Vange Marshes RSPB this afternoon, although it was flushed off by Black-headed Gulls after only a short time. Nearby, in Surrey, a White-winged Black Tern was on Staines Reservoirs North Basin all day.

In Scotland a Hudsonian Whimbrel was seen in Argyll, White-billed Diver in Highland and a Franklin's Gull, two Black Ducks and the Wood Duck were on Shetland, but there was no sign of the Brown-headed Cowbird. Three Bee-eaters lingered in Norfolk all afternoon, but news was slow to get out. A Black Kite was seen in Hampshire, and the Little Bittern remained on the Isles of Scilly.
