	Another mega for Scilly broke this afternoon in the form of a Blackpoll Warbler on the Garrison which showed very well, eventually, for the assembled masses. Also on Scilly, a Greenish Warbler was reported in the Parsonage, St.Agnes, the Woodchat Shrike remained on St.Mary's, as did a Red-backed Shrike, Barred Warbler and several Yellow-browed Warblers. In Oxfordshire, an American Buff-bellied Pipit remained for its 5th day on the causeway at Farmoor Reservoir, giving excellent views, with another American Buff-bellied Pipit still in County Clare. On Shetland, new rarities included a Paddyfield Warbler, an American Golden Plover, Arctic Redpoll and an Arctic Warbler, with scarce species such as Melodious Warbler and Little Bunting also present. A Dusky Warbler was found in Cornwall, a White-billed Diver off Selsey Bill, Sussex; the Long-billed Dowitcher remained in Kent, Hume's Yellow-browed Warbler in Norfolk, Great White Egrets in Lancashire and Staffordshire, Glossy Ibis in Merseyside, Blyth's Reed Warbler on the Wirral and Lesser Scaup in Somerset.
