Monday 17th July 2017
	The highlight of the day was the rediscovery of the female Amur Falcon in Cornwall. Just 2.5 miles from where she was last seen at Polgigga, she spent the afternoon and evening at St Buryan, before flying off shortly before dusk. Other lingering rarities seen today included the American White-winged Scoter at Murcar, Aberdeenshire, Marsh Sandpiper at Cliffe and Bonaparte's Gull at Oare, both Kent, four Bee-eaters at East Leake, Nottinghamshire, six Black-winged Stilts at Potter Heigham, Norfolk, King Eider at Ynyslas, Ceredigion, a Black Kite at Wickham Market, Suffolk and a Wilson's Petrel from the Scilly pelagic. Scarcity highlights included a Rose-coloured Starling, a Grey-headed Wagtail, a White-winged Black Tern, a Glossy Ibis and three Honey Buzzards.
