Saturday 14th July 2012
	The highlight of the day was the discovery of two White-rumped Sandpipers at inland locations in England; at Kirkby on Bain, Linclonshire, and Grimley, Worcestershire. Rarities elsewhere comprised the Snowy Owl back on The Mullet, County Mayo, Roller still in Aberdeenshire, Ferruginous Duck in Somerset, and single Glossy Ibises in both West Sussex and County Wexford. Scarcities included White Stork (three together in Somerset), Short-toed Lark (Norfolk), Serin (Kent), Hoopoe (Western Isles), Red-backed Shrike (London), Surf Scoter (Aberdeenshire), Temminck's Stint (Cleveland and Leicestershire), Cory's Shearwater (Isles of Scilly) and four Pectoral Sandpipers (Cambridgeshire, Norfolk, Northumberland and County Wexford).
