	A Red-flanked Bluetail on Isles of Scilly showed well intermittently on St Mary's this afternoon - presumably this is the bird first seen on 21st October. The Grey-cheeked Thrush, Blyth's Reed Warbler and White-rumped Sandpiper also remained on the archipelago. In Kent the Green Heron continued to show well in West Hythe and other lingering rarities included King Eider in Devon, Ross's Goose in Lancashire, Lesser Scaups in Nottinghamshire and Clyde (2), Black Duck in Co Kerry and Glossy Ibis in West Yorkshire. A juvenile American Golden Plover was located on East Harling Heath, Norfolk, the showy Bluethroat remained at Land's End, Cornwall, the Northern Isles Grey Phalarope wreck continued and the odd Waxwing trickled into the country via the east coast.
