Wednesday 28th July 2010  
  The highlight of the day was the discovery of both a Whiskered Tern and a White-rumped Sandpiper together in Cleveland at Saltholme, although the former flew off during the evening.

A Wilson's Petrel was again located off the Isles of Scilly, with lingering rarities elsewhere comprising the Glossy Ibis in County Wexford and the Ferruginous Duck in Suffolk, and scarcities including three Caspian Gulls, two Pectoral Sandpipers, a White-spotted Bluethroat (Norfolk) and Cattle Egret (Staffordshire), whilst in Kent both the Purple Herons and a Great White Egret remained at Denge Marsh.

Significant late news concerned the continued presence of the House Finch in Devon at East Prawle, the Laughing Gull in County Antrim and a Black Stork recently seen in flight at North Molton, Devon.
