	A Lesser Yellowlegs arrived on Porth Hellick Pool, St Mary's (Isles of Scilly), hot on the heels of the Marsh Sandpiper that frequented the same pool last week. Elsewhere the Baird's Sandpiper remained in Norfolk, the Ferruginous Duck was still in Fife and Great White Egrets were logged in Kent and Somerset. Yesterday's Icterine Warbler on Isles of Scilly was reidentified as a Melodious Warbler and in North Yorkshire a Red-backed Shrike arrived in Scarborough.
