Sunday 17th April 2011  
  A singing Savi's Warbler was found at Easington, Yorkshire mid morning, where it represented the second record for the Spurn area, following one in 1984. A popular Ortolan Bunting at Longham Lakes, Dorset often showed well. Bee-eaters were seen in Suffolk (four), Scilly (at least six) and Cornwall (two), whilst a Black Kite was at Marloes Mere, Pembrokeshire and a Red-rumped Swallow was at Arlington Reservoir, Sussex.

A male Eastern Subalpine Warbler on Unst, Shetland was unfortunately picked up dead.

Lingering rarities seen today included the Black Scoter in Northumberland, Black Stork in Hampshire, Rufous Turtle Dove in Oxfordshire, single Bonaparte's Gulls in Devon and Cornwall, Northern Harrier in County Wexford, Long-billed Dowitcher in Dorset, King Eider in Aberdeenshire, single Blue-winged Teals in Cambridgeshire and Carmarthenshire, Ferruginous Duck in Norfolk and Lesser Scaup in Gloucestershire.
