	Shetland hogged the rarities today with the outstanding highlight being a Paddyfield Warbler at Skaw on Whalsay. Elsewhere in the archipelago a Red-footed Falcon paused briefly at Collafirth and on Fair Isle Short-toed Lark, an Icterine Warbler and two Common Rosefinches were all logged. Meanwhile, the Lesser Yellowlegs lingered at Gibraltar Point, Lincolnshire and the Red-footed Falcon remained at Marston Vale, Bedfordshire video clip 1 video clip 2 (video from Stewartby Lake Country Park). A Red-breasted Flycatcher and a Serin at Portland Bill, Dorset, and a fine Red-backed Shrike at Elmley, Kent were the best of the rest from around England.
