	New discoveries today included single Caspian Terns at Frampton Marsh RSPB, Lincolnshire and Minsmere RSPB, Suffolk and a Long-billed Dowitcher at Port Carlisle, Cumbria. A pair of Black-winged Stilts have hatched two young at Steart WWT, Somerset. The Yelkouan Shearwater remained off Portland Bill, Dorset mid morning but not since, and the Lammergeier was successfully twitched in South Yorkshire, where it was later found roosting on a cliff by Abbey Brook and was present until dusk. Other lingering rarities seen today included the Pacific Golden Plover in County Clare, single Bonaparte's Gulls in Kent and County Louth, Iberian Chiffchaff in Suffolk and Black-winged Stilt in Kent. Scarcity highlights included a Hoopoe, five Rose-coloured Starlings, a Red-necked Phalarope, two Pectoral Sandpipers, two Pomarine Skuas and a Glossy Ibis.
