	Late news emerged of a Brown Booby on a trawler off the Isle of Wight on 9th May. The bird remained on the vessel as it travelled into French waters. Red-footed Falcons were at Ringstead GPs in Northamptonshire, near Ilchester in Somerset and still at Thorne Moors in South Yorkshire. Black Kites were seen over Winchester in Hampshire, Hankley Common in Surrey and Oare Marshes in Kent. 13 Bee-eaters, presumably the flock recently in North Wales, were seen over Budleigh Salterton in Devon, while another flew over Long Nanny in Northumberland. A Red-rumped Swallow was at Kilnsea in East Yorkshire. The Iberian Chiffchaff remained  in London and the Tawny Pipit was still in Cornwall. Other news included Purple Heron (Scilly), four Golden Orioles, Serin (Sussex), two Hoopoes, five Temminck's Stints, Red-necked Phalarope, three Dotterel and two migrant Honey Buzzards.
