Monday 22nd July 2013  
  The highlight of the day was a Swinhoe's Petrel heard singing - but not seen - in the darkness at Fair Isle, Shetland Isles during a Storm Petrel ringing session in the early hours.

In Norfolk Two-barred Crossbills continued to be seen, with four together at Lynford Arboretum and at least one at Kelling. These bring the total recorded during this influx to fifteen, ten of which have been in Norfolk.

Rarities elsewhere were headlined by a Fea's Petrel in Northumberland, moving north along the coast and noted passing Newbiggin, Beadnell and the Farne Islands, where the Bridled Tern remained in residence, the Rock Thrush still in Aberdeenshire, Bonaparte's Gulls in both Kent and Lancashire, Little Bittern in Somerset, White-rumped Sandpiper in County Kerry, Glossy Ibis in Pembrokeshire, and a Ferruginous Duck new at Burwell Fen, Cambridgeshire.
