	A probable male Moltoni's Subalpine Warbler is on Shetland, and has been present on Unst for eight days. It was heard calling, giving the characteristic rattling call which, along with plumage features proves that it is a very good candidate for this form. Other lingering rarities includes the Black-winged Pratincole in Norfolk, Little Bittern in Somerset, Squacco Heron in Cambridgeshire and Pallid Swift in Merseyside. A Cattle Egret was in Somerset and a Great White Egret was in Cleveland, but there were no sightings of yesterdays Royal Tern near Inchydoney, County Cork.
