	Divers dominated the headlines with a juvenile White-billed Diver a new discovery off Unst, Shetland Isles and the two possible Pacific Divers both remaining; the juvenile at Llys-y-Fran Reservoir, Pembrokeshire and the adult at Penzance, Cornwall. The identity of both these birds remains unclear at present. Elsewhere, the Black-eared Kite, Glossy Ibis and Spotted Sandpiper remained in England, Snowy Owl, Forster's Tern, Long-billed Dowitcher and Lesser Yellowlegs in Ireland, Black Scoter and Long-billed Dowitcher in Wales and both Barrow's Goldeneye and Bonaparte's Gull in Scotland. Waxwings continued to be seen in eastern Britain with at least ninety birds recorded, including over twenty in Cleveland, Norfolk and Northumberland.
