  Once again it was Short-toed Eagle that made the headlines today, with a brief encounter in Cambridgeshire at Swaffham Bulbeck early this morning, and then in Essex. where one flew south southwest over Bradwell-on-Sea late morning.

Elsewhere, lingering rarities confirmed as still present were the territorial Spectacled Warbler in Norfolk, Ross's Gull and Bonaparte's Gull together in Devon, Greenish Warbler and two Two-barred Crossbills all together in Lothian, single Savi's Warblers in both Aberdeenshire and Suffolk, a Bee-eater heard on the Wirral, and pairs of Black-winged Stilt in both Kent and West Sussex.

Scarcities included Rose-coloured Starling (Western Isles), Icterine Warbler (Lincolnshire), Marsh Warbler (Orkney Isles), Hoopoe (Aberdeenshire), two each of Common Rosefinch, Red-backed Shrike and Ring-necked Duck, and three Glossy Ibises.
