Saturday 23rd May 2009  
  Yorkshire produced some excellent birds today, the best being a Terek Sandpiper at Patrington Haven for a couple of hours this evening. A Collared Pratincole at Swillington Ings was presumably the Norfolk bird relocating, but the Buff-breasted Sandpiper on Hatfield Moors was a new arrival. A Melodious Warbler was at Spurn, with another in Cornwall, and a Marsh Warbler was at Kilnsea, with others in Dorset and Shetland.

An adult Gull-billed Tern was seen on the Exe Estuary, Devon this evening, and a Bee-eater was in Cornwall, with another three in Norfolk. Single Red-rumped Swallows were in Hampshire and Cornwall.

Lingering rarities included the Black-winged Pratincole in Kent, Laughing Gull and Subalpine Warbler on Shetland, Savi's Warbler in Essex and the North American peep reappeared in Devon this evening.
