Saturday 30th November 2013
	The highlight of the day was the discovery of a smart drake Baikal Teal at Marshside RSPB, Merseyside, although it was only seen (and photographed) by the initial observer before it flew off. In County Durham, a juvenile Ivory Gull was seen to fly north along the beach at Seaburn, but again wasn't seen after the initial sighting. Other new discoveries reported today included three Two-barred Crossbills in the Wyre Forest on the Shropshire /Worcestershire border near Buttonoak, another Two-barred Crossbill heard at Furzy Lawn Inclosure, Hampshire and single Glossy Ibises at Middlebere, Dorset and Northey Island, Essex. Lingering rarities included the Caspian Stonechat on the Isles of Scilly, Forster's Tern in County Galway, single Two-barred Crossbills in Surrey, Kent and Norfolk, Lesser Yellowlegs in Hampshire, American Golden Plover in Cornwall, Bonaparte's Gull in Devon, King Eider in County Mayo, single Lesser Scaups in Leicestershire and Glamorgan and single Glossy Ibises in County Wexford and Somerset.
