Sunday 21st June 2015
	Significant late news from yesterday concerned an Eyebrowed Thrush in Shetland, which was seen in a garden at Symbister, Whalsay. Unfortunately there were no confirmed sightings of the bird today. A Terek Sandpiper was found at Church Norton, West Sussex, which spent all day within a few hundred yards of the long staying Hudsonian Whimbrel. Other discoveries included a Tawny Pipit at Seafrd Head, East Sussex, a Rustic Bunting at Sumburgh, Shetland and a Bee-eater at Dunwich Heath, Suffolk. Other lingering rarities included the Greater Yellowlegs in Hampshire, White-rumped Sandpiper in Norfolk, single Bonaparte's Gulls in Kent and Western Isles (with five Bee-eaters also in the latter county) and a Subalpine Warbler in Orkney. There was no sign of the Cretzschmar's Bunting in Gwynedd, which therefore matched the first ever British record to the exact date (10th to 20th June), becoming the joint longest staying bird of the six British records.
