Tuesday 9th June 2009  
  On Shetland, the male Moltoni's Subalpine Warbler remained on Unst, showing well at times. Further south, the Paddyfield Warbler was confirmed as still being present on Hilbre Island, Wirral, as it was trapped again early afternoon.

In Somerset, the male Little Bittern proved very elusive, and was only seen in flight a few times, although it was calling regularly. The Black-winged Pratincole was still in Norfolk, and both Forster's Tern and White-winged Black Tern remained faithful to the East End Pond at Tacumshin, County Wexford. The Black Duck was still in Cornwall, and single Great White Egrets were seen in Cleveland and Norfolk.

Scarcities included a male Red-breasted Flycatcher in Shetland, male Red-backed Shrike in Yorkshire, Surf Scoter in Aberdeenshire, Red-necked Phalarope in County Offaly and an American Wigeon in Lancashire.
