  Two untwitchable Mega-rarities provided today's headlines - an immature Black-browed Albatross past Porthgwarra (Cornwall) and a flyby Fan-tailed Warbler at Whitstable (Kent).

Elsewhere the golden plover sp at Breydon Water (Norfolk) was reidentified as a Pacific Golden Plover and in Fife a Ferruginous Duck appeared at Lochgelly Loch. In East Yorkshire the Lesser Yellowlegs made another appearance at Paull Holme Strays whilst in Lothian another Lesser Yellowlegs remained at Aberlady Bay.

Great White Egrets lingered in Somerset and Suffolk and Pectoral Sandpipers were logged in Lothian and Cleveland.
