Thursday 17th July 2014
	The highlight of the day was the discovery of a Bonaparte's Gull in Kent at Oare Marshes: perhaps the same individual as that present between there and the Isle of Sheppey between 28th April and 15th August 2013. Elsewhere, lingering rarities comprised the Black-winged Pratincole in Norfolk, Collared Pratincole in Suffolk, Ross's Gull in Devon, and Lesser Yellowlegs in Lincolnshire. Scarcities included Serin (Kent), Marsh Warbler (Shetland Isles), Red-backed Shrike (Norfolk), Pectoral Sandpiper (Nottinghamshire) and Glossy Ibis (Leicestershire, Lincolnshire, Oxfordshire and Perth and Kinross).
