Tuesday 11th June 2013  
  The highlight of the day was a brief Roller on Fair Isle, Shetland Isles, with a Black Duck new-in at Loch of Hillwell. In Dorset a Caspian Tern moved from Radipole Lake to West Bexington, whilst an American Golden Plover was identified in East Sussex at Cuckmere Haven, and the White-rumped Sandpiper at Findhorn Bay, Moray was joined by a second individual.

Lingering rarities confirmed as still present were the Black-headed Bunting on the Isle of Wight, both Bonaparte's Gull and Black Kite in Kent, Western Subalpine Warbler on the Shetland Isles, and Lesser Scaup in Highland.

Scarcities included White-spotted Bluethroat (Norfolk), Red-spotted Bluethroat (Orkney Isles), Common Rosefinch (Ayrshire), Buff-breasted Sandpiper (County Mayo), Red-necked Phalarope (Gloucestershire), Marsh Warbler (Shetland Isles and Suffolk), Red-backed Shrike (Cleveland and Orkney Isles), and Pectoral Sandpiper (Norfolk (2) and Western Isles).
