Tuesday 2nd July 2013  
  Fortunately the Bridled Tern remained overnight on the Farne Islands, Northumberland, where it showed intermittently throughout the day on Inner Farne. Rartities recorded elsewhere comprised a Little Bittern continuing in Somerset, and the Bonaparte's Gull still in Kent.

Otherwise, a Surf Scoter inland, in Powys at Lake Vrynwy, was an exceptional find, whilst a Rose-coloured Starling graced the Orkney Islands, Golden Oriole briefly in Berkshire, Common Rosefinch on Anglesey, Red-backed Shrike in Norfolk, Temminck's Stints in both Aberdeenshire and Cleveland, and Ring-necked Ducks in County Armagh and Lothian.
