Sunday 11th April 2010  
  The highlight of the day was the continued presence of the Balearic Woodchat Shrike in Cornwall. Elsewhere, the elusive Two-barred Crossbill remained in Bedfordshire, a King Eider was found in Aberdeenshire, a White-billed Diver showed again on the Western Isles, Glossy Ibis lingered in County Wexford and Somerset (2) and an Alpine Swift flew over Durlston, Dorset.

Scarcities included 22 Shorelarks, five each of Hoopoes and Great White Egret, three each of Iceland Gull and Caspian Gull (Suffolk), two each of Ring-necked Duck, Ring-billed Gull (County Cork) and Glaucous Gull and single Woodchat Shrike (Cornwall), Wryneck (Suffolk), Surf Scoter (Devon), Green-winged Teal (Fife), Black Brant (Norfolk) and Tundra Bean Goose (Lancashire) were all recorded.

In Wales the two White Storks remained on Anglesey until mid morning before disappearing, only to reappear over Penmaenmawr, Conwy late in the afternoon.
