	A King Eider was discovered off the coast of North Ronaldsay, Orkney this afternoon and in Ayrshire the King Eider lingered off Girvan. Other lingering rarities included Black Duck in Pembrokeshire, Lesser Scaups in Somerset, Forth and Dumfries and Galloway, Glossy Ibis in Lancashire and Spotted Sandpiper in Glamorgan. At least fifteen Cattle Egrets remained in southern England. Scarcity highlights included a Serin in West Sussex and several Common Cranes, including a flock of five over Saltwick Nab, North Yorkshire.
