Saturday 3rd August 2013  
  A juvenile Two-barred Crossbill at Browsholme Hall, Lancashire today is, perhaps surprisingly, a first for the county. A Blue-winged Teal was seen on the Ouse Washes, Cambridgeshire, and a Black-winged Stilt was at Cley NWT, Norfolk very briefly mid afternoon. An Alpine Swift flew over Gibraltar Point NNR, Lincolnshire and a Black Kite flew over Bastreet Downs, Cornwall.

Lingering rarities included the Western Subalpine Warbler and four Two-barred Crossbills on Fair Isle, Shetland, a single Two-barred Crossbill on Orkney, three Little Bitterns (including a juvenile) in Somerset, Long-billed Dowitcher in Hampshire, Black Duck in County Kerry, single Bonaparte's Gulls in Kent and Lancashire and Glossy Ibis in Pembrokeshire.
