	The new discoveries today were all typical November fare; a Dusky Warbler at Sladesbridge, Cornwall, American Golden Plover on the Ouse Washes, Cambridgeshire, White-rumped Sandpiper at Cantley, Norfolk and Ferruginous Ducks in Staffordshire and Co Armagh. The main highlight was the Black-eared Kite that continued to delight a large audience at Holbeach Marsh, Lincolnshire with the two Red-breasted Geese remaining up the coast at Saltfleet. The Dusky Warbler remained at Spurn, East Yorkshire as did the Woodchat Shrike at Soar, Devon whilst the Siberian Stonechat was seen again at Goonhilly Downs, Cornwall. The elusive Little Bunting put in another at Benacre, Suffolk and the late Purple Heron continued to show well at Latimer, Buckinghamshire.
