Saturday 25th July 2026
	The highlight of the day was a Barolo Shearwater in Orkney passing North Ronaldsay, in East Yorkshire a juvenile Black Stork arrived at Bempton Cliffs and then relocated to the adjacent Flamborough Head, and in Lincolnshire a Black Kite flew over Fotherby. Elsewhere, rarities confirmed as still present were the Long-tailed Shrike along the Gloucestershire/Oxfordshire border, Hudsonian Godwit in Suffolk, Pacific Golden Plover in Lincolnshire, Bonaparte's Gull in Kent, and White-rumped Sandpiper in East Yorkshire. Significant late news for yesterday concerned the Western Reef Heron reported in Carmarthenshire at Kidwelly.
