Monday 5th July 2010  
  The highlight of the day was the continued presence of the singing River Warbler in Norfolk at Thorpe Marshes; although unfortunately it proved elusive throughout the arranged viewing this evening. Elsewhere, both the House Finch and Gull-billed Tern remained in Devon, as did the Little Bittern in Somerset, metal-ringed Blue-winged Teal in Cambridgeshire and Ferruginous Duck in Suffolk. In Cornwall the first Fea's Petrel of the year passed west off Porthgwarra and in Kent a Red-footed Falcon flew over Dover.

Scarcities included the Buff-breasted Sandpiper and White-spotted Bluethroat still in Norfolk, Purple Heron in Kent, two Surf Scoters together in Aberdeenshire, Ring-necked Duck in Fife, Temminck's Stint in Cleveland and single Great White Egrets in both Somerset and Suffolk.
