	The highlight of day was the return of the American Black Tern to Long Nanny, Northumberland for at least its fifth summer. New rarities today were all brief encounters: a Black Kite in Nottinghamshire at Annesley, a White-billed Diver in Highland at Brora, and a Dusky Warbler reported at Maryculter, Aberdeenshire. Lingering rarities confirmed as still present were the Black Duck in Forth, Elegant Tern in County Mayo, Savi's Warblers on territory in both Leicestershire and East Yorkshire, Bonaparte's Gull on the Shetland Isles, and in Lincolnshire Red-breasted Goose, Lesser Yellowlegs, and Black-winged Stilt all still together at Frampton Marsh.
