Monday 30th May 2011  
  The highlight of the day was the discovery of a Spotted Sandpiper at Brockholes Wetland, Lancashire. Elsewhere, brief encounters included a Great Reed Warbler in Somerset at King's Sedgemoor, a Red-rumped Swallow in Dorset at Radipole Lake, and a Bee-eater in Norfolk which was tracked migrating over Northrepps, Overstrand and Cromer.

Lingering rarities comprised the Terek Sandpiper in Northumberland, Lesser Yellowlegs in Staffordshire, Bonaparte's Gulls in both Devon and Gwynedd, King Eider in Aberdeenshire, two Subalpine Warblers on the Shetland Isles, Savi's Warbler in Dorset and Bee-eater in Highland.

The best of rest included White-winged Black Tern and Purple Heron together in Suffolk, Red-necked Phalaropes in Bedfordshire, Suffolk and Worcestershire (two together), Pectoral Sandpipers in both Aberdeenshire and Lancashire, and three Common Rosefinches together on the Shetland Isles.
