Tuesday 7th July 2009  
  The second Wilson's Petrel of the year was seen this evening, this time from a pelagic out of the Isles of Scilly. In Highland, the male River Warbler continued to sing and show very well at Applecross. Other lingering rarities included the male Little Bittern in Somerset, Great White Egret on Orkney and Cattle Egret on the Isle of Wight.

Scarcities included the Buff-breasted Sandpiper at Cley NWT, Norfolk, where nine Spoonbills also remained, the male Marsh Warbler at Otmoor RSPB, Oxfordshire, an adult Long-tailed Skua from a boat west of Gairloch, Highland and also several Roseate Terns and Balearic Shearwaters around the country.
