Tuesday 13th May 2014  
  Fair Isle's run of top quality birds continued today, with the discovery this evening of the island's third Hermit Thrush. This is also the third Spring record of the species in Britain, with just one out of the previous three records in Shetland occuring in Autumn. The Caspian Stonechat and Western Subalpine Warbler both remained on Fair Isle.

Further south, a singing Great Reed Warbler spent the day at Slimbridge WWT, Gloucestershire, and a Red-rumped Swallow flew west at Reculver, Kent.

Lingering rarities included the Whiskered Tern in County Cork, Lesser Yellowlegs in Cornwall and Bonaparte's Gull in County Wexford.
