This summary of unchecked reports covers early July to early August 2012.Headlines In this traditionally quiet period, waders and terns, plus an impressive passage of large shearwaters off southwestern coasts diverted birders from Olympic distractions. Most of the gold-medal contenders were waders, notably Black-winged Pratincole in the Outer Hebrides, Sharp-tailed Sandpiper in Orkney and Stilt Sandpiper in Northumberland, although a Fea's Petrel in Co. Cork (where the seawatching was best) and a Scottish Roller competed well too.
