	A White-billed Diver was located off Lewis, Western Isles today and in West Sussex the Red-breasted Goose previously in Hampshire relocated to West Wittering with Dark-bellied Brent Geese. Lingering rarities included the Penduline Tit in Devon, Lesser Yellowlegs in Suffolk, Lesser Scaup in Nottinghamshire and Cattle Egrets in Devon (4), Norfolk, Isles of Scilly and Cornwall. The best of the rest comprised a Ring-necked Duck on North Ronaldsay, Orkney, Great Grey Shrikes on the Berkshire/Surrey border and in Norfolk and Dark-breasted Barn Owl and Black-bellied Dipper in Norfolk.
