Wednesday 24th June 2009
	The highlight of the day was the confirmation of the presence of a Stilt Sandpiper at The Cull, County Wexford for a second day. Lingering rarities confirmed as still being present today comprised the Lesser Scaup in the Shetland Isles at Loch of Benston and the Ferruginous Duck at Chew Valley Lake, Somerset. Scarcities included a Red-breasted Flycatcher on Fair Isle, Shetland Isles, and singing Marsh Warblers in Hertfordshire at Amwell and Oxfordshire at Otmoor, with another suspected on the Isle of Portland, Dorset.
