Thursday 28th July 2016  
  The highlight of the day was the discovery of a White-rumped Sandpiper in Lincolnshire at Frampton Marsh. Elsewhere, rarities comprised both the Dalmatian Pelican and Hudsonian Whimbrel still in Cornwall, American White-winged Scoter in Aberdeenshire, and Bonaparte's Gull in Northumberland.

Scarcities incuded Spotted Crake (Cheshire), White Stork (London), Honey Buzzard (Suffolk), Cattle Egret and Glossy Ibis (together in Merseyside), and two each of both Pectoral Sandpiper (Essex and Northumberland) and Surf Scoter (Aberdeenshire and Lothian).

Seabird highlights were three Cory's Searwaters and 15 Great Shearwaters between Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly.
