Friday 6th July 2018
	Highlight of the day was the discovery of a singing male Little Bittern at Chelmarsh Reservoir (Shropshire). Elsewhere an Alpine Swift flew over Trimley St Martin (Suffolk) and Pied-billed Grebe (Argyll) and family of Black-winged Stilts and Bonaparte's Gull (Kent) all lingered. The best of the rest included Pectoral Sandpiper (Northumberland) and Red-backed Shrike (Surrey).
