  A Swinhoe's Petrel was retrapped on Fair Isle in the early hours; the same male which was first trapped on 7th August 2013, before being retrapped on several occasions until it was last trapped on 3rd September.

In Lothian the adult Bridled Tern previously on Fair Isle and Northumberland was relocated at Port Seton this afternoon. In Co Wexford a White-rumped Sandpiper was at Tacumshin, the Ross's Gull lingered in Devon and in Clyde the Spotted Sandpiper was relocated at Carbarns Pool. Three Black-winged Stilts lingered in West Sussex, whilst in Aberdeenshire a Bee-eater flew over Aberdeen.

The best of rest included Night Heron in Gloucestershire, Pectoral Sandpiper in Norfolk and Cattle Egret in Co Down.

Late news from yesterday related to a Lesser Scaup in Perth & Kinross and Red-rumped Swallow on Isles of Scilly.
