	Three new Subalpine Warblers were found today, with birds at Spurn, Yorkshire, Bardsey Island, Gwynedd and Great Saltee Island, County Wexford. Also in County Wexford, a Bonaparte's Gull was seen at Tacumshin. Two Great White Egrets were at Christchurch, Dorset, whilst another was at the Ouse Washes, Cambridgeshire, and the long staying bird remained in Clyde. In Hampshire, the White-throated Sparrow became more elusive at Old Winchester Hill. The Red-rumped Swallow in Wirral was seen at Leasowe this evening, and the Lesser Yellowlegs was seen again at Heybridge Basin, Essex. Other lingering rarities included Bonaparte's Gull in Oxfordshire, single Lesser Scaups in Forth and Glamorgan and lesser golden plover in Norfolk.
