	A Blyth's Reed Warbler identified on St Mary's, Isle of Scilly was the rarest find of the day with an Arctic Redpoll on Fair Isle, Shetland Isles, American Golden Plover at Maxey, Cambridgeshire and a White-rumped Sandpiper at Lurgangreen, Co Louth also new discoveries. A second Radde's Warbler was unearthed on Bardsey Island, Gwynedd. In Ireland the White-billed Diver showed again off Cape Clear, Co Cork with Lesser Yellowlegs nearby at Rosscarbery, Forster's Tern in Co Louth and White-rumped Sandpiper still in Co Kerry. In England the Cattle Egret reappeared near Sidmouth, Devon whilst two Red-breasted Geese remained in Lincolnshire as did the Glossy Ibis in Lancashire, Spotted Sandpiper in Cornwall, Long-billed Dowitcher in Kent, Great White Egret in West Yorkshire and White-rumped Sandpipers in Norfolk.
