	The highlight of the day was the discovery of five White-billed Divers together on the sea off Portsoy, Aberdeenshire. Elsewhere, a Tawny Pipit was in Lincolnshire at Tetney Lock, a Bee-eater on Lewis, Western Isles, and a Subalpine Warbler on North Ronaldsay, Orkney Isles. Brief encounters included a Glossy Ibis in flight over Yalding Lees, and Black Kites over-flying Cornwall (2), County Dublin, Hampshire, Kent and Lincolnshire. Lingering rarities comprised the Rufous Turtle Dove still in Oxfordshire, Bonaparte's Gulls in both Aberdeenshire and Devon, Long-billed Dowitcher in Dorset, Lesser Yellowlegs in Somerset, King Eider in Aberdeenshire, Lesser Scaup in Gloucestershire, Subalpine Warbler on the Shetland Isles, Savi's Warbler in Devon and Tawny Pipit on the Isles of Scilly. A Black Stork was seen again Derbyshire; todat at Youlgreave.
