Wednesday 12th November 2008  
  New finds today included a female Sardinian Warbler in Devon, at Berry Head, Brixham, with a Barred Warbler at the same site. Nearby, a male Desert Wheatear was found at Instow, with others in Kent, Northumberland and Lincolnshire.

The East Coast continued to hold its eastern rarities. The Steppe Grey Shrike was still at Grainthorpe, Lincolnshire, the Pied Wheatear was at Filey, North Yorkshire and the Two-barred Crossbill remained in the same county, at Stokesley. The Red-flanked Bluetail showed well on Holy Island, the Hume's Yellow-browed Warbler was still on St Mary's Island, both Northumberland, and a King Eider was seen off Hartlepool Headland, Cleveland.

The first-winter male Snowy Owl reappeared on St Mary's, Isles of Scilly this evening, and other lingering rarities included Ferruginous Duck in Buckinghamshire, Black-bellied Dipper again in Norfolk and Lesser Scaups in Clyde and Cornwall.
