Thursday 19th August 2010  
  The highlight of the day was the appearance of a Semipalmated Sandpiper in Lincolnshire at Alkborough Flats for the second night in succession: presumably the same individual as that present at nearby Blacktoft Sands, East Yorkshire on 9th August.

Elsewhere, rarities comprised the Lesser Grey Shrike and a brief Greenish Warbler in Norfolk and the Whiskered Tern still in Cleveland.

Scarcities included at least seven Great Shearwaters (between Cornwall and County Clare), three Barred Warblers and a Common Rosefinch (all on the Shetland Isles), two White-winged Black Terns (East Yorkshire and Norfolk), two Spotted Crakes (County Durham and Kent) and single Cory's Shearwater (County Clare), Ring-billed Gull (Lancashire), Pectoral Sandpiper (Kinross), Sabine's Gull (East Yorkshire), Cattle Egret and Great White Egret (together in Kent).
