  The highlight of the day was the confirmation of a Pechora Pipit at Goodwick Moor, Pembrokeshire. Suspected late yesterday afternoon the identity was confirmed early this morning and the bird showed well throughout the day. Elsewhere in Wales a male Desert Wheatear was discovered at Towyn, Conwy.

A Cattle Egret at the Otter Estuary, Devon may be a returning individual, as might the Great White Egret at Dingle Marshes, Suffolk; the latter joining three Penduline Tits that remain at this site.

Other lingering rarities comprise single Glossy Ibises in both Devon and Lancashire, a Cattle Egret in Cornwall and a Great White Egret on the Western Isles.
