  Five of the six new rarities reported today were Greenish Warblers, all of which were on the north Norfolk coast. First up was one trapped and ringed at Weybourne during the morning, whilst the afternoon produced single birds at Wells Woods, East Hills, Stiffkey and Northrepps. Further north, a Citrine Wagtail was discovered on the Farne Islands, Northumberland.

Lingering rarities included the Greenish Warbler at Whitburn, County Durham, Ferruginous Duck at Minsmere, Suffolk and all twelve Bee-eaters at Niton, Isle of Wight, but yesterday's Blue-winged Teal in Worcestershire was re-identified as a hybrid Shoveler.
