Sunday 8th November 2009  
  During a day of several false starts, real new rarities included a Red-rumped Swallow at Udale Bay, Highland and a Red-throated Pipit at Ballycotton, County Cork. New Great White Egrets were in Northamptonshire, Leicestershire and Lancashire. The Wilson's Phalarope was seen a couple of times at Slimbridge WWT, Gloucestershire, but only remained on view for short periods. The Dusky Warbler in Suffolk was equally difficult today, proving very elusive in the scrub north of Warrenhouse Wood.

Lingering rarities included the Brown Shrike in Surrey, Fan-tailed Warbler in Kent, Forster's Tern in County Louth, Baird's Sandpiper and Lesser Yellowlegs in Lothian, Richardson's Canada Goose in County Sligo and single American Golden Plovers in Norfolk and County Down.
