	A Rustic Bunting on Walney Island, Cumbria and Western Bonelli's Warbler on Mainland Shetland were today's headline discoveries, but a Greenish Warbler in East Norfolk, Red-footed Falcon at Saltburn, Cleveland, Bee-eater at Lavernock Point, Glamorgan and Radde's Warbler at Foulness Island, Essex were also super finds. Lingering rarities included a Lesser Grey Shrike, Blyth's Reed and Radde's Warblers in Norfolk, Dusky Warbler in Kent, Red-footed Falcon in East Yorkshire, Ferruginous Duck in Somerset (another was discovered in Leicestershire), Radde's Warbler in Suffolk, Stilt Sandpiper in Cumbria, White-winged Black Tern in Greater Manchester, Arctic Warbler on Out Skerries and Hudsonian Whimbrel on Isles of Scilly. In Dorset a probable Audouin's Gull was on the sea off St Aldhelm's Head before flying east. Yellow-browed Warblers continued to filter through to the west coast, two Buff-breasted Sandpipers were at St Fergus, Aberdeenshire and at least nine Great Grey Shrikes, twelve Red-backed Shrikes, two Barred Warblers, two Wrynecks, a handful of Marsh Warblers and a Hoopoe were also logged.
