	Bird of the day was a Fea's Petrel which flew past Galley Head, County Cork this morning, which was the third at this site this year. Elsewhere, a Red-throated Pipit was at Minsmere Suffolk, briefly, a Citrine Wagtail flew over North Ronaldsay, Orkney and a Red-footed Falcon was watched for five minutes at Lenwade, Norfolk. Lingering rarities comprised Subalpine Warbler in County Durham, Greenish Warbler in Northumberland, single White-winged Black Terns in Flintshire, Staffordshire and Kent, Glossy Ibis in Yorkshire and Lesser Yellowlegs in Fife. Scarcities included a Woodchat Shrike at Portland, Dorset with a Melodious Warbler and Tawny Pipit at the same site, and a scattering of Common Rosefinches, Wrynecks, Icterine Warblers and Barred Warblers elsewhere.
