	The lingering Great Snipe on Holy Island, Northumberland and Trumpeter Finch on Blakeney Point, Norfolk were again the most popular rarities. A first-summer male Red-footed Falcon was discovered on the Gloucestershire/Wiltshire border and in Derbyshire the first-summer female Red-footed Falcon previously in Ingleby reappeared at Willington Gravel Pits. Lingering rarities included Whiskered Tern in Kent, Rustic Bunting on Shetland, American Golden Plovers in Kent, Anglesey and Co Mayo and Red-footed Falcons in Bedfordshire (2), Lothian, Kent and Berkshire. A Hoopoe was at Stiffkey, Norfolk for its second day and the Tawny Pipit at Waxham was also still on show. The Kentish Plover remained at Aberlady Bay, Lothian, Red-backed Shrikes graced the east coast in East Yorkshire, Cleveland, Northumberland and Aberdeenshire and Red-breasted Flycatchers were on Mainland Shetland, Aberdeenshire and Western Isles.
