Saturday 6th July 2013  
  The adult Bridled Tern relocated to Cleveland, being seen in the Saltholme RSPB area for a little over an hour early afternoon before it reappeared back at East Chevington, Northumberland mid evening.

A stunning summer plumaged Bonaparte's Gull was found at Cross Ness LNR, London. It is likely to be a returning bird from last winter, either of which would now be in second-summer plumage, although no obvious signs of immaturity are visible in the first few photographs posted online. The fifth Subalpine Warbler of the year for Fair Isle, Shetland was also found today, and a Lesser Yellowlegs was discovered on North Ronaldsay, Orkney.

Other lingering rarities included the two Gull-billed Terns in County Wexford, at least three Little Bitterns in Somerset, Bonaparte's Gull in Kent and Glossy Ibis in Pembrokeshire.
