Friday 10th July 2015  
  Single Black Kites were seen over Leiston, Suffolk and Upton Towans, Cornwall, whilst Bee-eaters were found at Sandwich Bay, Kent, Portland, Dorset and Alderton, Bucklesham and Minsmere (five), all Suffolk (with ten again in the latter county at Leiston early morning only).

Other lingering rarities included the Red-footed Falcon in Staffordshire, Hudsonian Whimbrel in West Sussex, Greater Yellowlegs in Hampshire, Red-rumped Swallow in Shetland and White-rumped Sandpiper in Yorkshire.

Scarcities included a Surf Scoter, a Green-winged Teal, a Cory's Shearwater, a Balearic Shearwater, a Red-necked Phalarope, an Iceland Gull, two Ring-billed Gulls, two Glaucous Gulls, two Pectoral Sandpipers and at least three Honey Buzzards, but there was no sight or sound of the long staying Melodious Warbler in West Midlands.
