Tuesday 18th August 2015
	The highlight of the day was the discovery of the first Fan-tailed Warbler for Sussex, and the first in Britain since 2010. Present for just a few minutes at Climping mid evening, there was no further sign of the bird by dusk. Lingering rarities still present today included the Black Storks in Sussex and Aberdeenshire, Spotted Sandpiper in Wiltshire, Red-footed Falcon in Lincolnshire, White-rumped Sandpiper in Kent, Bee-eater in Cumbria and Lesser Scaup in Somerset. Scarcity highlights included a Red-backed Shrike, a Spotted Crake, a Night Heron, a Ring-billed Gull, a Honey Buzzard, a Buff-breasted Sandpiper, an American Golden Plover, two Pectoral Sandpipers, two Icterine Warblers, two Barred Warblers, two Wrynecks, three Montagu's Harriers, three Long-tailed Skuas and five Pomarine Skuas.
