Nearby a Blyth's Reed Warbler was discovered in Cley and a Black Stork flew over Thornham, Salthouse and Kelling this evening. Elsewhere new discoveries included Great Reed Warbler (Shetland), Black Kites (East Sussex and Norfolk), Whiskered Tern (Western Isles) and Bee-eaters (Hampshire [5] and Isle of Wight [2]). Lingering rarities comprised Ross's Gull (Devon), Savi's Warblers (Gwent and Aberdeenshire), Lesser Scaup (Cheshire), Black-winged Stilts (pairs in Kent and West Sussex), Rustic Bunting (Argyll), King Eiders (Aberdeenshire and Lothian) and White-billed Diver (Highland). The best of the rest included Glossy Ibises in Kent, Leicestershire and West Yorkshire, Purple Herons in Cornwall and Norfolk, Pectoral Sandpipers in Suffolk and Western Isles (2), Red-backed Shrike in Norfolk, Buff-breasted Sandpiper in Cleveland, Common Rosefinch in Co Cork, Spotted Crake in Dorset and Hoopoe in Aberdeenshire.
