Saturday 3rd July 2010  
  Both today's new rarities put in brief appearances: a Red-footed Falcon was seen near North Creake in north Norfolk before it drifted off towards Holkham; and in County Kerry an adult Bonaparte's Gull was seen briefly at Blennerville.

In Devon the Gull-billed Tern continued it's stay on the Exe Estuary and other long staying rarities included the House Finch in Devon, the Little Bittern in Somerset and the Ferruginous Duck in Suffolk.

About 20 Spoonbills were reported along the east coast, whilst in Scotland two Ring-necked Ducks were reported in Fife with another yesterday in Perth and Kinross. A smattering of Roseate Terns included one at Lodmoor in Dorset and the Temminck's Stint remained at Greatham Creek in Cleveland.
