	Seabirds once again provided much of the entertainment today, with Irish headland's producing Little Shearwater in County Clare and Fea's Petrel in County Mayo, and a Wilson's Petrel was seen from a pelagic trip out of Inishboffin, County Galway. Elsewhere in Ireland, the long staying Long-billed Dowitcher was again present at Dundalk Docks, County Louth. A report of an American Robin in Devon came seven hours after the event, and an Aquatic Warbler was seen at Marazion Marsh RSPB, Cornwall. Another Marsh Sandpiper was found, this time at Heybridge GPs, Essex, where it remained until dusk, with another still on Rush Hill Scrape, Norfolk. The Pacific Golden Plover remained on the River Wampool, Cumbria, and the White-billed Diver was seen again on South Ronaldsay, Orkney. Inland phalaropes included a Red-necked Phalarope at Weston sewage works, Somerset and a Grey Phalarope at Marsh Lane NR, West Midlands, with another at Pennington Marshes, Hampshire. A Tawny Pipit was seen on Blakeney Point, Norfolk, with Icterine Warbler and Wryneck also in the county.
