Sunday 15th June 2014  
  The highlight of the day was, once again, the wandering second-summer Short-toed Eagle. Today it was seen back in the Ashdown Forest in East Sussex, in the same area as on the 10th June, where it spent the afternoon before landing out of view mid evening.

Further north, a Scops Owl was flushed into a mistnet at Holland House, North Ronaldsay early morning.

Other lingering rarities included the Spectacled Warbler in Norfolk, Ross's Gull and Bonaparte's Gull in Devon, Greenish Warbler in Lothian, Savi's Warbler in Suffolk, Blue-winged Teal and King Eider in Aberdeenshire, Lesser Scaups in Cheshire and County Derry and Black-winged Stilts in Kent (six) and Sussex (five).
