Sunday 11th May 2014  
  Bird of the day could have been the Gull-billed Tern in Gwynedd, seen late afternoon off Aberdyfi, but news didn't emerge until late this evening. Elsewhere, a Citrine Wagtail spent a minute or so on the patio of Portland Bird Observatory, Dorset, a Red-throated Pipit flew over Berry Head, Devon, a Lesser Yellowlegs was on Loch Fada, Western Isles and a Red-rumped Swallow spent three hours at Thamesmead, London. Other new discoveries included a second Bonaparte's Gull at Tacumshin, County Wexford and two Black Kites in Kent.

Lingering rarities seen today included the Caspian Stonechat in Shetland, Sardinian Warbler and Whiskered Tern in County Cork, Snowy Owl in the Western Isles, Black-winged Stilt in Kent, Lesser Yellowlegs in Cornwall and Spotted Sandpiper in Oxfordshire.
