Sunday 2nd June 2019
	The highlight of the day was the discovery of a Roller in West Yorkshire at Crimsworth Dean whilst other new rarities comprised a Little Bittern on the Shetland Isles on Foula, an Alpine Swift in County Dublin at Howth, a Ferruginous Duck in North Yorkshire at Hay-a-Park and a Gull-billed Tern briefly at Sheringham, Norfolk. Lingering rarities confirmed as still present were the Great Knot and Sardinian Warbler both still on the Shetland Isles, Broad-billed Sandpiper and Savi's Warbler in Suffolk, Semipalmated Sandpiper in County Kerry, Black Duck, Blue-winged Teal and King Eider all in Highland, Red-footed Falcon in County Wexford, territorial Great Reed Warblers in both Cleveland and West Yorkshire, Iberian Chiffchaffs in Lancashire and Suffolk, and a Bee-eater again in East Yorkshire. The Baikal Teal had relocated overnight 203 miles northwest from Hornsea Mere, East Yorkshire to Skinflats, Forth. Scarcities included Woodchat Shrike (Dorset), Rose-coloured Starling (Cleveland), White-winged Black Tern (County Kerry), Serin (Kent), Red-backed Shrike (Isles of Scilly), Great Grey Shrike (Cambridgeshire), Purple Heron (Norfolk), Temminck's Stint (County Durham), Red-necked Phalarope (Northumberland), two each of both Golden Oriole and Ring-necked Duck, and a total of five Common Rosefinches.
