  Both male Iberian Chiffchaffs continued to sing today, with one at Titchwell RSPB, Norfolk and one at Walderslade, Kent, both for their second day. There was a small movement of Red-rumped Swallows on the east coast this morning, with single birds noted at Gibraltar Point, Lincolnshire, Spurn and Barmston, both Yorkshire. Two birds were seen flying south over Flamborough Head, also Yorkshire. Nearby, a Tawny Pipit was seen at Grimston.

A male Savi's Warbler was found early morning at Minsmere RSPB, Suffolk, where it showed on and off again this evening. A Pallid Swift was seen briefly in Hampshire, and a Bee-eater was on Iona, Argyll.
