	Anglesey enjoyed its second record of Savi's Warbler, with a singing bird at Malltraeth Marsh RSPB. A Black Stork in Udale Bay in Highland for a few minutes in the afternoon was presumably the same bird seen recently in Moray and Aberdeenshire. In South Yorkshire, a Red-rumped Swallow was reported near Mexborough at North Ings. Still on the scene were the Lesser Grey Shrike in Norfolk, Bee-eater in Highland, Iberian Chiffchaff and Savi's Warbler in Suffolk, Great Reed Warblers in West Yorkshire and Co.Durham, Blue-winged Teal in Clyde, Black Duck in Highland, Ferruginous Duck in West Yorkshire and King Eider in Aberdeenshire. Today's scarcities included two Red-necked Phalaropes (Sussex and Northumberland), Icterine Warbler (Shetland), Serin (Kent), Common Rosefinch (Co.Galway), Golden Oriole (Scilly), Red-backed Shrike (Norfolk), Purple Heron (East Yorkshire), three Ring-necked Ducks, seven Balearic Shearwaters, four Pomarine Skuas, Iceland Gull (Western Isles) and two Glossy Ibises.
