  In Somerset, the summering male Little Bittern was seen again a few times today, mostly in flight over Loxton Marsh, Ham Wall RSPB. The Tawny Pipit remained for its fourth day on North Ronaldsay, Orkney, whilst lingering wildfowl rarities included Blue-winged Teal in Cambridgeshire, King Eider in Aberdeenshire and Ferruginous Duck in Suffolk.

Scarcity highlights were Rose-coloured Starling in Cornwall, White-spotted Bluethroat in Norfolk, Common Rosefinch in Perth & Kinross, Purple Heron in Kent, two Roseate Terns in Merseyside and a Great White Egret in Somerset.

Late news from Lundy, where the Little Shearwater was heard again overnight on Thursday.
