  Rarity of the day was the Grey-cheeked Thrush in County Cork, which was feeding on the track outside the Wilson's Warbler garden on Dursey Island this evening. A lovely Rustic Bunting was photographed at Donna Nook, Lincolnshire, a Radde's Warbler was seen on the Isle of May, Fife and a Red-throated Pipit flew over Rainham Marshes RSPB, London.
