Monday 22nd June 2009  
  The only rarity reported in the country today was the male Little Bittern, which continued to sing and show sporadically at Walton Heath, Somerset. Again, there was no sign of the African Royal Tern in the Llandudno area, and no sign on Anglesey in a very thorough search by Norfolk birders.

Scarcities included a male Red-spotted Bluethroat on the Isle of May, Fife, the Marsh Warbler in Hertfordshire, Woodchat Shrike in Glamorgan, Night Heron on the Isles of Scilly and a Red-necked Phalarope on the Western Isles. Two Common Cranes did a tour of the Midlands area, being seen in Leicestershire, Warwickshire and Staffordshire, a Pomarine Skua was in Argyll and the family of Golden Orioles were still at the nest at Lakenheath Fen RSPB, Suffolk.
