Friday 3rd June 2011  
  The highlight of the day was the discovery of three Bee-eaters, with singles seen briefly in County Cork, Dorset and North Yorkshire. Elsewhere, lingering rarities comprised the Broad-billed Sandpiper still in Norfolk, Forster's Tern in County Wexford, Bonaparte's Gull in Devon and two Eastern Subalpine Warblers on the Shetland Isles.

Scarcities included Night Heron (County Wexford), Common Rosefinch (Dorset and the Shetland Isles), Golden Oriole (Cornwall), Surf Scoter (County Durham and Lothian) and American Wigeon (Aberdeenshire).

Significant late news concerned a male Trumpeter Finch present yesterday at Morte Point, Devon but, disappointingly, it could not be relocated there today.
