Monday 2nd July 2018
	The highlight of the day was a Rustic Bunting new in on Fair Isle, Shetland Isles. Rarities elsewhere comprised the King Eider still in Aberdeenshire and Bonaparte's Gulls in both Kent and London. Scarcities included Rose-coloured Starling (Aberdeenshire) and Cattle Egret (Cambridgeshire). Significant late news from yesterday concerned a Franklin's Gull seen in Cornwall at the Hayle Estuary and a Lesser Scaup identified in Highland at St John's Pool.
