	A summer plumaged Spotted Sandpiper was a nice find in Clyde late afternoon, on the River Clyde by the Baron's Haugh RSPB reserve. Lingering rarities seen today included the Bridled Tern in Northumberland, Black-winged Pratincole in County Durham early morning only (a pratincole sp was reported from Northumberland briefly this evening), Lesser Grey Shrike in Shetland, Ross's Gull in Devon, two Black-winged Stilts in Sussex and Lesser Scaup in Somerset. The highlights of the scarcities seen today were a Night Heron, a Pectoral Sandpiper and seven Glossy Ibises.
