	The highlight of the day was the discovery of a Gull-billed Tern at St John's Lake, Cornwall - particularly noteworthy in that it was in a subadult plumage. Lingering rarities comprised the Little Bittern still in Somerset, Franklin's Gull on the Orkney Isles and single Great White Egrets in the Orkney Isles, Somerset and Suffolk. Seawatching rewards included eight Cory's Shearwaters and a Great Shearwater off Cornwall and Balearic Shearwaters from Cornwall, Devon, Dorset, East Sussex, Hampshire and Kent.
