Friday 26th June 2015  
  Another great day for finding Bee-eaters, with birds recorded at Lympne, Kent, Lewes and Ashdown Forest (three), East Sussex, eight at Marks Tey, Essex, five at Woodbridge, Suffolk and two at Great Ormes Head, Conwy. Otherwise, a Black Kite was reported from Colligan, County Waterford, and a singing Greenish Warbler was reported from Dunball, Somerset.

Lingering rarities seen today included the Hudsonian Whimbrel in West Sussex, Little Bittern in Suffolk, Squacco Heron in Cleveland, Blyth's Reed Warbler in Aberdeenshire, Franklin's Gull in County Derry and Bonaparte's Gull in Kent.

Scarcity highlights involved a Melodious Warbler, a Serin, an Ortolan Bunting, a Ring-billed Gull, a Green-winged Teal, an American Wigeon and two Ring-necked Ducks.
