	A Booted Warbler on Mainland Shetland, three Greenish Warblers in Aberdeenshire (at Sands of Forvie NNR, Loch of Strathbeg RSPB and Cruden Bay Woods) and White-winged Black Tern at Covenham Reservoir, Lincolnshire were today's best new discoveries. In Cumbria the identification of the Pacific Golden Plover found yesterday at Anthorn was confirmed - this stretch of the Cumbrian coastline continues to produce quality waders year after year. The Stilt Sandpiper was still at Coombe Hill Meadows, Gloucestershire and other lingering rarities included Marsh Sandpiper in Norfolk, Glossy Ibis in West Yorkshire, White-billed Diver in Orkney, Hooded Merganser in Dorset and Baird's Sandpiper and Snowy Owl on Western Isles. The Lincolnshire Audouin's Gull failed to make an appearance in the Chapel Point area.
