	The second Fan-tailed Warbler of the year was seen at Pegwell Bay, Kent, late morning, but disappeared soon afterwards. Two Greenish Warblers were seen in County Durham today, with one at Marsden Quarry and another at Whitburn, for its second day. Single Glossy Ibises were seen in Kent, Somerset and Glamorgan, whilst the flock of ten remained in Carmarthenshire. An Alpine Swift was in Alexandra Park, London, for much of the afternoon, and a Ferruginous Duck was found at Pitsford Reservoir, Northamptonshire. In Lincolnshire, the King Eider was seen off Freiston Shore RSPB throughout the day, and was present once again off the River Witham mouth this evening. Other lingering rarities included Baird's Sandpipers in Anglesey, Cornwall (2) and County Kerry, Citrine Wagtail in Cornwall, Snowy Owl in County Mayo, American Golden Plovers in County Derry and on the Western Isles, Lesser Yellowlegs in Lothian and Spotted Sandpiper in County Wexford.
