Monday 23rd May 2016  
  The Black-billed Cuckoo remained at Bayhead, North Uist all day today. The Lammergeier was also seen again, and proved twitchable for multiple observers for the first time since its arrival. It lingered for a couple of hours near Princetown on Dartmoor, Devon late morning, before eventually flying north. It was then seen several times further west in Cornwall, where it was last seen flying north near Rosenannon at about 7pm. The Dalmatian Pelican was also seen again in Cornwall, this time at Helford this evening.

New discoveries today included a female Collared Flycatcher on Fair Isle, Shetland, a Red-footed Falcon near Woodbridge, Suffolk and a Red-rumped Swallow in Folkestone, Kent.

Other lingering rarities included the Stilt Sandpiper in Hampshire, Great Spotted Cuckoo in Dorset, Iberian Chiffchaff and Spotted Sandpiper in the Isles of Scilly, Great Reed Warbler in Cambridgeshire, Savi's Warbler in County Wicklow and two Black-winged Stilts and a Red-footed Falcon in Essex.
