	A Collared Pratincole discovered at Tubney Fen, Cambridgeshire this evening is presumably the bird last seen in Lincolnshire on 9th. Elsewhere rarities included Baird's Sandpiper in Norfolk, Wilson's Petrel off Isles of Scilly, Great White Egrets in Dorset, Somerset and Suffolk, Lesser Yellowlegs in Lothian, Snowy Owl in Co Mayo, Ferruginous Duck in Fife and Cattle Egret in Somerset. On Isles of Scilly an Icterine Warbler arrived on St Mary's and in Lincolnshire the Pectoral Sandpiper remained at Frampton Marsh RSPB.
