	The stunning white morph Gyr remained on The Gower, Glamorgan, where is showed on and off throughout the afternoon. Reports of Gyrs also came from Co Durham and Northumberland. The Siberian Stonechat in Nottinghamshire was a popular attraction - the bird showed intermittently throughout the day. Elsewhere lingering rarities included Pacific Diver (Cornwall), Lesser Yellowlegs and Baird's Sandpiper (Lothian), Glossy Ibis (Worcestershire), Ferruginous Ducks (Somerset and West Yorkshire) and Spotted Sandpipers (Essex and Devon).  Three Cattle Egrets were in Co Cork, Great White Egrets were logged in Warwickshire, Northamptonshire and Co Monaghan, a Richard's Pipit was discovered in Cornwall and the adult Rough-legged Buzzard lingered in Cambridgeshire.
