Friday 9th July 2010  
  A White-tailed Plover arrived at Slimbridge WWT (Gloucestershire) this morning, where it showed into the evening - this is almost certainly the same bird that was at Rainham Marshes RSPB on Wednesday, but despite this, the Seaforth LWT record earlier this year and the 2007 Dumfries & Galloway/Lancashire bird, White-tailed Plover still remains a pulse-raising Mega.

Elsewhere the River Warbler remained in Norfolk - to listen to a sound recording of the bird click here.

Elsewhere the Gull-billed Tern lingered in Devon, a Laughing Gull was still in Co Antrim, a King Eider was seen off Filey Brigg (North Yorkshire - apparently the bird that flew past  Flamborough Head on 2nd July) and the Little Bittern was still in Somerset. The Buff-breasted Sandpiper in Norfolk, Great White Egret and Purple Herons in Kent, Great White Egret in Somerset and Pectoral Sandpiper in Fife all lingered.
