	In Essex, an adult Red-breasted Goose was found on Wallasea Island with the large flock of Dark-bellied Brent Geese, which also contained a Black Brant and a couple of Pale-bellied Brent Geese. The Red-breasted Goose remained until dusk, although became more mobile. In Ireland, the juvenile Thayer's Gull remained at Cleggan, County Galway, whilst other lingering rarities included Black-throated Thrush in Yorkshire, Black Kite in Powys, Little Bunting in Highland, King Eider in Moray, Bonaparte's Gull in Anglesey and three Glossy Ibises in Somerset.
