  Astounding news from Lundy, Devon this morning, with a Sulphur-bellied Warbler singing in Millcombe Valley. It remained all day, with several charter boats reaching the island in the evening. This is the second record for the Western Palearctic, following the Danish bird in 2016.

Other new discoveries today included a Rustic Bunting at Ham Wall RSPB, Somerset with the long staying singing River Warbler, a Caspian Tern at Worth Marsh and ten Bee-eaters at Dover, both Kent (and another of the latter over Potter Heigham, Norfolk).

Other lingering rarities included the Great Reed Warblers in Nottinghamshire, Northumberland and Shetland, two Collared Pratincoles in Kent, Red-footed Falcon in Norfolk and Bee-eater in Yorkshire.

Scarcity highlights included a Hoopoe, two Golden Orioles, two Woodchat Shrikes, three Red-backed Shrikes, five Marsh Warblers, 31 Rose-coloured Starlings, two Purple Herons, two Glossy Ibises, two Honey Buzzards, a Grey Phalarope, two Red-necked Phalaropes, a Balearic Shearwater and a Long-tailed Skua.
