| The highlight of the day was the discovery of a juvenile Marsh Sandpiper at Bough Beech Reservoir, Kent where it remained late into the evening. Elsewhere, a
White-winged Black Tern paused briefly at Snettisham, Norfolk, the Marsh Sandpiper remained on the Isles of Scilly as did the
Lesser Yellowlegs in Lothian, Cattle Egret in Somerset, single Ferruginous Ducks
in both Fife and Somerset and Great White Egrets on the Isles of Scilly, Shetland Isles and Somerset. Scarcities included a Rose-coloured Starling in Cornwall, Marsh Warbler in East Yorkshire, Barred Warbler on the Orkney Isles, Spotted Crake in Hampshire, Ring-necked Duck in Fife and Pectoral Sandpipers in Cleveland, Lincolnshire and Norfolk, whilst a pelagic off County Kerry produced 144 Great Shearwaters and a Sabine's Gull. A total of 198 Black Terns arrived across twelve counties in southern England, including single flocks of 54 in Berkshire, 50 in Oxfordshire, 29 in Cambridgeshire, 24 in Surrey and 20 in Warwickshire. |
