	A Lesser Crested Tern flew past Cley, Norfolk late morning, continuing this year's excellent record of this family. At the same site, the Buff-breasted Sandpiper remained, along with eight Spoonbills. Further north, an adult Franklin's Gull was on Mainland Orkney, whilst the male River Warbler continued to sing in Highland. The White-winged Black Tern was at Fen Drayton Lakes, Cambridgeshire all day, and the Great White Egret was still on Orkney. A summer plumaged Grey Phalarope was at Spurn, East Yorkshire this evening, and Pectoral Sandpipers were in Lincolnshire, County Wexford and Aberdeenshire.
