	The juvenile Spotted Sandpiper remained on show at Tittesworth Reservoir, Staffordshire, representing the third record for the county. Other lingering rarities included the Steppe Grey Shrike in Lincolnshire, Two-barred Crossbill in Yorkshire, Long-billed Dowitcher on the Western Isles, Ferruginous Duck in Glamorgan and Lesser Scaup in Nottinghamshire with the Gloucestershire bird relocating to Frampton Sailing Lake. The only new discovery was a White-rumped Sandpiper at Alkborough Flats, Lincolnshire. The adult Night Heron was again at West Hythe, Kent, and an interesting goose, possibly resembling Grey-bellied Brant was on the Gann Estuary, Pembrokeshire. Waxwings continued to be well represented in the north, with birds as far south as Essex, Northamptonshire, Norfolk, Nottinghamshire and Cambridgeshire.
