	The highlight of the day was confirmation of Ireland's first Blyth's Reed Warbler at Mizen Head, County Cork. On the Western Isles an American Golden Plover was found on Benbecula. Elsewhere, the White-billed Diver remained at Selsey Bill, West Sussex as did the Hume's Yellow-browed Warbler at Holkham Pines Norfolk, Dusky Warbler at Easington East Yorkshire, Long-billed Dowitcher in Lincolnshire, Glossy Ibis in Merseyside and Great White Egret in Lancashire. On the Isles of Scilly St Agnes saw a Radde's Warbler discovered alongside Common Rosefinch, Richard's Pipit and Lapland Bunting. The Blackpoll Warbler, Woodchat Shrike and Red-breasted Flycatcher all remained on St Mary's whilst further Lapland Buntings were seen on St Martin's and Tresco. Six Yellow-browed Warblers were recorded around the islands. On the Shetland Isles a King Eider remained on Mainland as did a Ring-necked Duck and four Yellow-browed Warblers. The Spotted Sandpiper was seen again on Yell and a Little Bunting was on Out Skerries.
