Saturday 8th May 2010  
  News of a male House Finch at Land's End, Cornwall was released early morning, resulting in a mass movement into the south-west. If accepted, this would represent the first record for the Western Palearctic, following several rejected records of presumed escaped individuals.

A Black Kite and a Whiskered Tern were both at Dungeness, Kent, whilst two Red-rumped Swallows were found nearby at Arlington Reservoir, Sussex. The adult Forster's Tern reappeared at Tacumshin, County Wexford, and a King Eider was off Mainland Shetland.

Lingering rarities included Iberian Chiffchaff in Kent, Ortolan Bunting in Dorset, Pacific Diver in County Clare, Savi's Warbler in Lancashire and several Red-rumped Swallows in Yorkshire.
