Tuesday 9th July 2013
	Highlight of the day was the discovery of a Terek Sandpiper at Tacumshin (Co Wexford), where a Gull-billed Tern also lingered. Elsewhere in Ireland a Bonaparte's Gull flew past the Waterford coastline. In Northumberland the mobile Bridled Tern appeared offshore at Coquet Island whilst in Cornwall Black Kite sightings came from Sancreed, The Lizard and Camelford. Three Little Bitterns remained in Somerset and the long-staying Glossy Ibis was still in Pembrokeshire. The best of the rest included Common Rosefinch in Perth & Kinross, Temminck's Stint in Aberdeenshire, Red-backed Shrike in North Yorkshire and Pectoral Sandpipers in Gwent and Cornwall.
