Friday 12th June 2009  
  Rare herons continued to provide much of the entertainment today, the rarest being the male Little Bittern at Walton Heath, Somerset, which showed very well in flight throughout the day. The Night Heron reappeared at Porth Hellick, Isles of Scilly this evening, and there was a Cattle Egret on Anglesey, and a Great White Egret and Purple Heron in Suffolk.

The Black-winged Pratincole was again at Titchwell RSPB, Norfolk, although it was much more erratic in its appearances, and wasn't seen in its favoured field at Thornham all day. The drake Black Duck remained in Cornwall, as did the Forster's Tern in County Wexford.
