	A Brunnich's Guillemot that flew west past Cley (and most likely Sheringham beforehand) mid morning is potentially just the third record for England. Also in the county, a female Ferruginous Duck was seen at Snettisham RSPB late afternoon. Further south, a Red-breasted Goose was seen with the Dark-bellied Brent Geese at Bowling Green Marsh RSPB, Devon, for its second day. Nearby, in Dorset, a Ferruginous Duck was at Abbotsbury Swannery, whilst a Great White Egret was seen in Leicestershire. Lingering rarities included Brown Shrike in Surrey, King Eider in Moray, Baird's Sandpiper and Lesser Yellowlegs in Lothian, Ferruginous Duck in Yorkshire, Spotted Sandpipers in Essex, Hampshire, Devon and Forth, Penduline Tit in Kent and Glossy Ibises in Worcestershire and Kent.
