Sunday 24th August 2025  
  What was presumably the same Bridled Tern as seen yesterday in Fife, was seen today at Musselburgh in Lothian, but it didn't hang about for long. Other new discoveries today were of two different Western Bonelli's Warblers on Lundy (Devon), a Greenish Warbler at Salthouse in Norfolk, a Marsh Sandpiper at Peterstone Wentlooge in Gwent and a Pallid Harrier briefly near Amesbury in Wiltshire.

The family of Zitting Cisticolas remained at Walberswick in Suffolk, with now four juveniles present and nearby the Black Stork was still at Boyton. Other lingering rarities included Black-winged Pratincole in Lincolnshire, White-rumped Sandpipers in East Yorkshire and County Wexford, Western Sandpiper in Ayrshire, Long-billed Dowitcher in County Wexford, Laughing Gull in County Kerry, Bonaparte's Gulls in Aberdeenshire and Kent, Lesser Scaups in Staffordshire (2), Black Kite in Cornwall and long staying Eastern Subalpine Warbler in Shetland.
