	The Two-barred Crossbill invasion continued today. On Shetland a flock of nine were on Fair Isle (along with an Icterine Warbler), six visited Sumburgh Head (where both Melodious Warbler and Red-backed Shrike were also on show) and another was on Fetlar. On Orkney two were located on North Ronaldsay, where a Pacific Golden Plover and Buff-breasted Sandpiper were also present. The White-billed Diver reappeared off South Ronaldsay. In Cornwall a Spotted Sandpiper was found on the Camel Estuary, on Tiree a Lesser Grey Shrike was seen briefly and in Ayrshire a Buff-breasted Sandpiper arrived at Doonfoot. The female Lesser Grey Shrike was still in Dorset this evening.
