  In Cheshire the Caspian Tern reappeared at Acre Nook Quarry this evening, having been absent throughout the day. In Lincolnshire the wader reported yesterday as a White-rumped Sandpiper was still present today, but was reidentified as a Baird's Sandpiper. Elsewhere a Two-barred Crossbill was at Holkham NNR (Norfolk) for its fourth day, whilst a couple of Two-barred Crossbills also lingered at Lynford Arboretum (Norfolk). A Black Kite was reported over Oxleas Wood (London), the Lesser Yellowlegs was still in Carmarthenshire and at least one Little Bittern was seen at the Somerset breeding site.

Pectoral Sandpipers were logged in Cleveland, Hampshire and Co Antrim.
