Monday 7th April 2025  
  Red-rumped Swallows were found on St.Mary's and Tresco in the Scilly Isles, with another bird at Beachy Head in East Sussex. There was belated news of a Great Reed Warbler last week on Unst in the Shetlands and a Lesser Scaup was reported at Balgray Reservoir in Clyde.

There was no sign of the Alpine Accentor in Cornwall, but in Dorset, the Subalpine Warbler sp was still at Weymouth and the Western Subalpine Warbler remained in County Cork. In West Sussex the Least Sandpiper was still to be found at Medmerry. Other lingering rarities included American Coot in Shetland, two Richardson's Cackling Geese in the Western Isles and White-winged Scoter in Lothian.
