	The only new rarity of the day was a grey morph Gyr Falcon reported in off the sea at Hermaness, Unst. An exceptionally late Swift sp. over Wells, Norfolk unfortunately evaded specific identification. Remaining rarities included the Black-eared Kite reported still in Lincolnshire, the Barrow's Goldeneye in Forth and the Falcated Duck in Devon. Other species still lingering for long stays included the exceptionally late Woodchat Shrike, the Spotted Sandpiper and Cattle Egret in Devon, the Red-breasted Geese in Lincolnshire, Long-billed Dowitcher in Kent, Spotted Sandpiper in Cornwall and the Bufflehead on Shetland.
