	The White-rumped Sandpiper remained at Cley NWT, Norfolk, the Glossy Ibises were still in Merseyside and Co Clare, the Hooded Merganser could still be found in Weymouth and in Co Wexford the King Eider was once again relocated, this time at Lady's Island Lake. Pectoral Sandpipers were at Holland Haven Country Park, Essex, Edderthorpe Flash, South Yorkshire, Gibraltar Point NNR, Lincolnshire and Dundrum Inner Bay, Co Down and in Shropshire a Hoopoe visited Bishop's Castle. A Sabine's Gull lingered around a boat four miles off the Devon coastline and a Wilson's Petrel, several Cory's Shearwaters and two Grey Phalaropes were observed from a boat between 150 and 190 miles south west or west of the Isles of Scilly.
