Monday 2nd June 2014
	The highlight of the day was a singing male Spectacled Warbler at Burnham Overy Dunes, Norfolk. Discovered early in the afternoon, it remained into the late evening and showed well. The eight British record, and the first twitchable record for Norfolk, with the only previous individual there being on Scolt Head Island on 6th May 2011, and suppressed. New rarities elsewhere comprised a Citrine Wagtail in North Yorkshire at Burniston, Greenish Warbler in Somerset at Sand Point, Rustic Bunting in Argyll on Tiree, a brief Black Kite in Kent, and Bee-eaters in both Hampshire (5) and Somerset (2). Lingering rarities confirmed as still present were the Ross's Gull in Devon, territorial Savi's Warblers in both Aberdeenshire and Gwent, King Eider in Lothian, Lesser Scaup in Cheshire, and the pair of Black-winged Stilts in Kent. Scarcities included Buff-breasted Sandpiper (Cleveland), Purple Heron (Cornwall), Woodchat Shrike (Kent), Grey-headed Wagtail (Shetland Isles), migrant Red-necked Phalarope (Cambridgeshire), Common Rosefinch and Pectoral Sandpiper (both on the Western Isles), two each of Marsh Warbler and Hoopoe, and three Cattle Egrets (together in Kent).
