Waxwing on Inishbofin Island, County Galway, Black-throated Thrush
on Shetland at Sumburgh Head, Pied Wheatear in Norfolk at Horsey Gap,
Red-flanked Bluetail in Suffolk at Minsmere and a belated report of a
Ross's Gull in Gwynedd at Bangor yesterday. Also Baird's Sandpiper
in Nottinghamshire, another Hornemann's Arctic Redpoll in the Western
Isles on North Uist, and a Radde's Warbler on St.Martin's, Isles of

Plenty of rare birds were still present from previous days,
