	New discoveries today were headlined by a Desert Wheatear on St Agnes, Isle of Scilly, a Daurian Shrike at Druridge Pools, Northumberland, Penduline Tit at Dungeness, Kent, Dusky Warbler at Gunton, Suffolk and American Golden Plover at Little Paxton, Cambridgeshire. The White-billed Diver remained off Cape Clear, Co Cork and the late Thrush Nightingale stayed on Fair Isle, Shetland Isles. The Glossy Ibis put in another appearance at Marshside, Merseyside and the pair of Red-breasted Geese present recently in Lincolnshire were seen passing Spurn, East Yorkshire. Of local significance were a Rose-coloured Starling at Kidwelly, Carmarthensire, a Richard's Pipit at Rumworth Lodge, Greater Manchester and a movement of 494 Little Auks past the Farne Islands, Northumberland.
