	The highlight of the day was the continued presence of the Bee-eater on the Isles Scilly, and the lingering Bonaparte's Gull in Devon. Scarcities included a Night Heron in Kent, Red-necked Phalarope and White-tailed Eagle in Lincolnshire, and single Great White Egrets in both Kent and Northamptonshire. 29 Spoonbills were recorded across nine counties, including eight together at Minsmere, Suffolk.
