  The Lincolnshire Audouin's Gull made another appearance in the Chapel Point area this evening and on Orkney a new Pacific Golden Plover arrived on North Ronaldsay. A Black Kite flew south over Sunk Island, East Yorkshire, a Cattle Egret was noted at Colyford Common LNR, Devon, the Pacific Golden Plover reappeared at Anthorn, Cumbria and other lingering rarities included Semipalmated Sandpiper in Co Cork, Citrine Wagtail on Fair Isle, Marsh Sandpiper at Hickling Broad NWT, Norfolk and White-winged Black Tern near Inverness, Highland.

A Red-necked Phalarope in Gloucestershire, Grey Phalaropes in Hampshire and Somerset (2), Wryneck at Landguard NR, Suffolk, Icterine Warbler briefly at Castle Carrock, Cumbria and Corncrake at Flamborough Head, East Yorkshire were the headline scarcities.
