Sunday 1st August 2010  
  The Lesser Yellowlegs lingered at Inner Marsh Farm RSPB (Cheshire), the juvenile Whiskered Tern was still at Saltholme RSPB (Cleveland) and in Staffordshire the  Franklin's Gull reappeared at Gailey Reservoir. In Cumbria the stint species, either a Semipalmated Sandpiper or Little Stint continued to show near Port Carlisle.

In Kent the Purple Heron and Great White Egret at Dungeness RSPB were joined by a Cattle Egret, the Ferruginous Duck was still at Minsmere RSPB (Suffolk) and a Pectoral Sandpiper was again at Elmley Marshes RSPB (Kent).

The Flintshire Grey-headed Purple Gallinule origin debate ended today, when the bird's owner arrived at Saltney to recapture it!
