Thursday 28th June 2012  
  A Great Reed Warbler was found at Boddam on Mainland Shetland and, in Ireland, an Alpine Swift was a new arrival at Tacumshin, County Wexford, where it joined a Glossy Ibis and a Savi's Warbler. Another long staying Savi's Warbler was still to be found at Blacktoft Sands in East Yorkshire.

The Little Swift remained at New Brighton on The Wirral today, albeit somewhat periodically during the heavy rain, and became the UK's longest staying Little Swift. The Iberian Chiffchaff was still to be found at Porlock in Somerset.

An adult White-winged Black Tern was seen this afternoon at Shapwick Heath in Somerset - probably the same bird that was at the Cotswold Water Park yesterday. In Sussex the three White Storks were seen over Angmering and Pulborough Brooks as they continue their wanderings. A Long-tailed Skua was off Toe Head in County Cork and a Pomarine Skua flew over Tyninghame in Lothian.
