  A second-summer Laughing Gull was a new arrival on Tiree, Argyll, this afternoon, when it was found on Loch a' Phuill. Also in Scotland, a male Snowy Owl was still on St Kilda, Western Isles, where there has been a female present recently, along with a Baird's Sandpiper and a Marsh Warbler.

The only other new rarity was a Black Kite in Sussex, whilst lingering birds included the Little Bittern in Somerset, Black Duck in Cornwall, Forster's Tern in County Wexford and three Cattle Egrets in County Cork.

Scarcities included a male Common Rosefinch at Bridge of Weir, Clyde, a male Red-necked Phalarope at Martin Mere WWT, Lancashire, a drake Surf Scoter off Blackdog, Aberdeenshire and a Hoopoe near Bishop's Castle, Shropshire.
