	A Wilson's Phalarope discovered at St John's Point, Co Down was, like the continuing Woodchat Shrike in Devon and Purple Heron in Buckinghamshire, an exceptionally late record. The adult male Barrow's Goldeneyes continued to show well at both Callander, Forth and Quoile Ponadge, Co Down, the Black-eared Kite remained near Holbeach St Marks, Lincolnshire as did the Dusky Warbler at Spurn Point, East Yorkshire and the Bonaparte's Gull in Lunan Bay, Angus. Several American waders remained in place with Spotted Sandpipers in both Cornwall and Devon, American Golden Plovers in Cambridgeshire and Co Cork, Lesser Yellowlegs in Co Cork and White-rumped Sandpipers in Co Down, Co Wicklow and Norfolk.
