	Another Wilson's Phalarope was discovered late morning, this time in Lothian. It remained at Musselburgh Lagoons all day, and proved popular with county listers, being the first record for 22 years. A Lesser Scaup was present at Loughea, County Galway. Lingering rarities included the Brown Shrike in Surrey, Red-throated Pipit in County Cork, Richardson's Canada Goose in County Sligo, Long-billed Dowitcher in Cumbria, Lesser Yellowlegs in Lothian and American Golden Plover in County Down.
