	A Collared Pratincole was watched for a few minutes at High Esk NR, East Yorkshire, this evening, before flying north and not relocated. Further south, a Wilson's Petrel was seen off a pelagic out of the Isles of Scilly, and late news from yesterday concerned two Black-winged Stilts in Kent. Lingering rarities included just the Little Bittern and Great White Egret in Somerset. Scarcities included a Pectoral Sandpiper in Kent, a Red-backed Shrike on Orkney and good numbers of seabirds in the south-west.
