Monday 18th August 2025  
  A Greenish Warbler was a new discovery on Fair Isle (Shetland), where the long-staying Eastern Subalpine Warbler also remains. There was a belated report of a Barolo Shearwater seen flying past Nybster in Highland yesterday. After an absence of over a week, the Western Sandpiper was relocated at Turnberry in Ayrshire.

Both the Zitting Cisticolas were still to be found today - one in Kent, although it was not seen after mid morning, and one is Suffolk. Other lingering rarities included Western Bonelli's Warbler on Scilly, Greenish Warbler and Black Stork in Suffolk, Lesser Scaups in Staffordshire (2) and Greater Manchester, Ferruginous Duck in Leicestershire, Lesser Yellowlegs in Lancashire. Long-billed Dowitcher in County Wexford, White-rumped Sandpiper in Suffolk and Bonaparte's Gull in Kent.
