Monday 3rd August 2015  
  The highlight of the day was the presence of two Black Storks: one lingering in East Yorkshire at Spurn, the other migrating over Blacktoft Sands, East Yorkshire, before being seen in Lincolnshire at both Alkborough and Tetney Lock.

Elsewhere, the Paddyfield Warbler remained on the Shetland Isles, the Red-footed Falcon in Staffordshire, at least two Bee-eaters at the nest in Cumbria, Black Kite briefly in Suffolk, and the Little Bittern reported again in South Yorkshire.

Seawatching was again headlined by at least one Fea's/Zino's Petrel making two passes at Galley Head, County Cork, with Cory's Shearwater and Great Shearwater there, Great Shearwater and Sabine's Gull off County Kerry.

Scarcities included Kentish Plover (Dorset), Rose-coloured Starling (Glamorgan), Ring-billed Gull (Lancashire), and Pectoral Sandpiper (Isles of Scilly).
