| Yorkshire's superb run of Mega rarities continued today. First up, a Taiga Flycatcher was on the cliff below the foghorn station at Flamborough Head this afternoon, where it showed very well. This evening, a Two-barred Greenish Warbler was identified at Spurn. Both birds remained until dusk, and both represent the second records for Yorkshire. The White-tailed Lapwing remained at Blacktoft Sands RSPB and an Olive-backed Pipit flew over Kilnsea, but the Long-toed Stint departed overnight after an eight day stay.
New discoveries elsewhere included a Red-eyed Vireo on Lundy, Devon, Red-flanked Bluetail at Calf of Man, Isle of Man, a Penduline Tit at Beddington Farmlands, London, single Radde's Warblers at Sandwich Bay and Bockhill Farm, both Kent, a Dusky Warbler at Newford Duckpond, Scilly, a Baird's Sandpiper at Steart, Somerset and two Cackling Geese at Loch Paible, Western Isles.
