Sunday 22nd July 2012  
  The highlight of the day was the discovery of new White-rumped Sandpipers at both Snettisham, Norfolk, and Havergate Island, Suffolk, whilst at least one remained in Lincolnshire; at Frampton Marsh.

Lingering rarities confirmed as still present were the Sharp-tailed Sandpiper on the Orkney Isles, Long-billed Dowitcher in Gloucestershire, Ferruginous Duck in Somerset, and Glossy Ibises in both County Cork and County Wexford.

Scarcities included Rose-coloured Starling (County Waterford), Red-backed Shrike (London), Pectoral Sandpiper (Essex and Northumberland) and Surf Scoter (two together in Aberdeenshire).

Seawatching from County Cork produced a Wilson's Petrel off Galley Head, and both Cory's Shearwater and Great Shearwater passing Mizen Head, whilst in Ayrshire a Cory's Shearwater was reported from the Isle of Arran.
