Tuesday 3rd July 2012  
  The highlight of the day was a Whiskered Tern in Warwickshire; reported as present at Brandon Marsh in the early morning before departing to the south.

Rarities elsewhere comprised the Paddyfield Warbler still in the Shetland Isles on Fair Isle, and in East Yorkshire the Alpine Swift remained at Bempton Cliffs.

Scarce migrants included Sabine's Gull (Hertfordshire), Red-necked Phalarope (Gloucestershire), Surf Scoter (Aberdeenshire (four together), and Angus) and Caspian Gull (Norfolk), whilst in County Cork 40 Pomarine Skuas passed Cape Clear.
