	Headline rarities today included nine Two-barred Crossbills on Shetland (eight on Fair Isle, one on Fetlar), the Black Stork in Co Durham, Lesser Grey Shrike in Dorset, White-winged Black Tern in London and the White-billed Diver on Orkney. A Cattle Egret dropped into Cley NWT, Norfolk and lingering wildfowl came in the form of Lesser Scaup in Clyde, Hooded Merganser in Dorset and King Eider in Wexford. A Short-toed Lark was a tremendous find on Tiree, Argyll.
