Thursday 8th July 2010  
  Unfortunately yesterday's White-tailed Plover was not seen at Rainham Marshes in London today, and the only new rarity reported was a Black Stork over Capel St.Mary in south Suffolk this afternoon. In Norfolk, Dick Filby and the Allens were very pleased that all their organisational efforts were handsomely rewarded when the assembled crowd at the River Warbler got great scope views early morning. Elsewhere, the Laughing Gull was again at Ballycastle in County Antrim, whilst, in Devon both the House Finch and the Gull-billed Tern continued to be seen, as did the Little Bittern in Somerset.

Dungeness in Kent played host to a Great White Egret as well as the two breeding Purple Herons. Another Great White Egret was in County Cork. A female Dotterel remained at Crimdon in County Durham and the Buff-breasted Sandpiper continued to be elusive at Titchwell in Norfolk. A Pectoral Sandpiper was at Rossie Bog in Fife and there were 10 Spoonbills together at Cley in the evening.
