	Cambridgeshire's first Long-billed Dowitcher was present for its second day at Ouse Fen, whilst in Cornwall a Bee-eater flew over Chapel Carn Brea near St Just. Lingering rarities included River Warbler and Paddyfield Warbler on Fair Isle (Shetland), Blue-winged Teal and Glossy Ibis at Tacumshin (Co Wexford) and Iberian Chiffchaff at Porlock (Somerset). A Short-toed Lark in Norfolk, Serin in Suffolk, Icterine Warbler in Lothian, White-winged Black Tern in Dorset and Red-backed Shrike in Northumberland were also recorded. Late news from yesterday related to reports of Caspian Terns at Wissington beet factory and Cley (Norfolk).
