Saturday 25th May 2013  
  Some good quality rarities were found today, although the highlight, a Roller at Broxhead Common, Hampshire has, in fact, been present three days. A Terek Sandpiper was at Rye Harbour NR, Sussex from late afternoon onwards and a singing Savi's Warbler at Lakenheath RSPB, Suffolk showed quite well on occasions. Less twitchable rarities found today included a Black Stork over Cinder Hill, Sussex, an Eastern Subalpine Warbler on Fair Isle, Shetland, a Tawny Pipit on North Ronaldsay, Orkney and a Bee-eater at Grain, Kent.

Lingering rarities still present today included the Harlequin Duck on the Western Isles, Red-footed Falcon in Suffolk, single Red-rumped Swallows in London and Kent, Forster's Tern in County Wexford, Bonaparte's Gull in Kent, King Eider in Aberdeenshire and Glossy Ibis in Pembrokeshire.
