Tuesday 20th April 2010  
  The highlight of the day was a Whiskered Tern in Cornwall on the Camel Estuary, whilst elsewhere in that county the Savi's Warbler remained at Marazion and at Polgigga both Tawny Pipit and Bee-eater showed briefly.

Otherwise, rarities included a brief Red-rumped Swallow in Greater Manchester, the Bonaparte's Gull still in East Sussex, the Black-headed Wagtail or hybrid still in Northumberland and what was probably a Spanish Wagtail was at King George V Reservoir, London

Scarcities included three each of both Hoopoe and Green-winged Teal, two each of Surf Scoter, Great White Egret, Glaucous Gull and Serin (together in Dorset) and single Night Heron (East Sussex), American Wigeon (Cleveland), Great Grey Shrike (Lincolnshire), Tundra Bean Goose (Lothian) and, in Cornwall, Wryneck, Ring-billed Gull and Iceland Gull.
