	The discovery of an adult White-rumped Sandpiper at Grove Ferry NNR, Kent this afternoon was the highlight of an otherwise quiet day, with other rarities reported including an immature Red-footed Falcon at Lakenheath Fen RSPB, Suffolk and two Cattle Egrets at Slimbridge WWT, Gloucestershire. Notable scarcities included a singing male Icterine Warbler in Lancashire, at Jackhouse Reservoir, Red-backed Shrike at Sea Palling, Norfolk, Common Rosefinch at Tyndrum, Forth, Rose-coloured Starling at Newburgh, Aberdeenshire and the vocal Corncrake remained in Berkshire. At least 84 Crossbills were seen in nine counties, so the influx continues.
