Friday 4th June 2021  
  The highlight of the day was the discovery of a River Warbler in song at Ham Wall, Somerset where it showed well into the evening and was accompanied by a Savi's Warbler.

Discoveries elsewhere included a Great Reed Warbler in Northumberland at East Chevington, Red-footed Falcon in Norfolk at Hickling Broad, and on the Shetland Isles a Rustic Bunting on Foula, a Great Reed Warbler at Sumburgh, Mainland, and a Blyth's Reed Warbler on East Burra. Brief encounters included both a Black Stork and Bee-eater in Cornwall, and further Bee-eaters in Derbyshire and Northumberland.

Lingering rarities confirmed as still present were the Calandra Lark and two King Eiders on Shetland, Great Reed Warbler in Nottinghamshire, and Western Subalpine Warbler on the Isle of Man.

Significant late news concerned a Red-footed Falcon at Staveley, North Yorkshire, and a Blyth's Reed Warbler at Whitburn, County Durham both present yesterday, and that the reported territorial Little Crake recently in Cambridgeshire was actually most likely a Shelduck.
