Thursday 16th July 2009  
  A Pacific Golden Plover (or possibly an American Golden Plover) was found at Cley NWT reserve in the afternoon before relocating to Blakeney Harbour, and then heading back towards Cley later in the evening. On Mainland Orkney, the Franklin's Gull remained in the area of Howes Wick at Holm and the Great White Egret was still to be found at Graemeshall Loch. In the south west another Great White Egret was seen again at Shapwick Heath in Somerset.

Pectoral Sandpipers were at Nosterfield NR in Yorkshire and Greatham Creek in Cleveland. A male Red-backed Shrike was still to be found at Cissbury Ring in West Sussex. Crossbills continued to fly over scattered localities throughout the country and a Gannet was an unusual inland find at Foremark Reservoir in Derbyshire and proved a popular local attraction.
