Thursday 29th July 2010  
  The highlight of the day was the reappearance of the Franklin's Gull in Staffordshire at Chasewater. Lingering rarities elsewhere comprised the House Finch still in Devon, Whiskered Tern in Cleveland, Laughing Gull in County Antrim and Ferruginous Duck in Suffolk. In Cumbria a probable Semipalmated Sandpiper at Port Carlisle remained distant throughout.

Scarcities included two Surf Scoters (together in Aberdeenshire), two Caspian Gulls (Bedfordshire and Leicestershire), Purple Heron (Kent), Cattle Egret (Staffordshire) and Pectoral Sandpiper (Cornwall).
