	Pacific Divers were once again the main focus of the day, with the two adults lingering in Cornwall and Gloucestershire. The former remained on the Hayle Estuary, whilst the latter was seen off Severn Beach late morning. A Lesser Yellowlegs was seen in Yorkshire, perhaps being the same individual that was seen on the 13th November. The adult also remained at Aberlady Bay, Lothian. In Surrey, the Brown Shrike was confirmed as still present, whilst other lingering rarities included single Spotted Sandpipers in Devon, Hampshire and Essex, Penduline Tit and two Glossy Ibises in Kent and single Ferruginous Ducks in Essex and Somerset. Belated news concerned a remarkable record of a Crested Lark in Wiltshire on the 15th and 16th November at a private site in the south of the county.
