	The highlight of the day was news that up to seven Bee-eaters are breeding in Norfolk at Trimingham. Elsewhere a Greenish Warbler was discovered in Argyll at Sandbank and brief encounters included a Red-footed Falcon in Nottinghamshire, and Black Kites in both Devon and Hampshire. Lingering rarities confirmed as still present were the Pacific Golden Plover in Cornwall, Pied-billed Grebe in Argyll, territorial Great Reed Warblers in both Norfolk and Nottinghamshire, family of five Black-winged Stilts in South Yorkshire, King Eider in Lothian, and Ferruginous Duck in Staffordshire. Scarcities included Marsh Warbler (Lincolnshire), two each of both Red-backed Shrike and American Wigeon, and a total of six Glossy Ibises.
