Monday 25th June 2018
	The highlight of the day was two Caspain Terns and a Great Shearwater watched at sea off Galley Head, County Cork. Lingering rarities confirmed as still present were the territorial Great Reed Warbler in Cambridgieshire, Eastern Subalpine Warbler on the Shetland Isles, Savi's Warbler in Suffolk, Black-winged Stilt in Norfolk, and Bonaparte's Gulls in both Kent and London. Scarcities included Golden Oriole (Gloucestershire), Long-tailed Skua (Shetland Isles), Cattle Egret (Merseyside), two migrant Red-necked Phalaropes (together on the Orkney Isles), and a total of four migrant Rose-coloured Starlings.
