Thursday 16th June 2011  
  A summer plumaged Greater Sand Plover was present for a second day at Dornoch Point, Highland today. This 15th for Britain showed very well into late evening. A little further south, the American White-winged Scoter continued to show off Murcar Links, Aberdeenshire. Still in Scotland, a Roller was seen on Mull, Argyll, and the King Eider also remained on the Ythan Estuary, Aberdeenshire.

Further south, a Ferruginous Duck was at Minsmere RSPB, Suffolk, and a Black Kite was at Kirkby-on-Bain, Lincolnshire.

Lingering rarities included Squacco Heron in Kent, House Crow in County Cork, Blue-winged Teal in Somerset, Bee-eater in Isles of Scilly, Red-footed Falcon in Norfolk and Bonaparte's Gull in Devon.
