	Ireland's second Baltimore Oriole was found on Cape Clear Island, County Cork this evening, continuing a superb week for American vagrants in the country. On Shetland, the third Blyth's Pipit for the archipelago was identified on Mainland and other new rarities found today included a Radde's Warbler at Horse Shoe Point, Lincolnshire, Great White Egret and Ferruginous Duck in Kent and in County Derry a Long-billed Dowitcher was on the Bann Estuary. The Canada Warbler continued to attract the crowds in Kilbaha, County Clare whilst on the Scilly Isles the American Robin remained on Tresco. Other rarities still creating the headlines included a Radde's Warbler in Suffolk, Least and Spotted Sandpipers in Cornwall and another Spotted Sandpiper was still in Devon.
