Tuesday 17th July 2012  
  The highlight of the day was the discovery of a Caspian Tern in Norfolk, at Strumpshaw Fen this evening before it departed to the south. New Glossy Ibises arrived at both Holland Haven, Essex, and Grove Ferry, Kent.

Lingering rarities confirmed as still present were the Snowy Owl in County Mayo, Ferruginous Duck in Somerset, and Glossy Ibis in West Sussex.

Scarcities included Grey Phalarope (Lancashire), Red-backed Shrike (London), Pectoral Sandpiper (Northumberland), Temminck's Stint (Cleveland) and White Stork (three together in Somerset), whilst seabirds included Cory's Shearwater (County Kerry), Great Shearwater (Cornwall) and Sabine's Gull (County Waterford).
