	A Lesser Scaup at Burton Mill Pond (West Sussex) was the sole new rarity found on Saturday. Lingering rarities included Black-throated Thrush in North Yorkshire, Little Bunting in Highland and Black Kite in Powys. In addition to the aforementioned Lesser Scaup wildfowl highlights came in the form of Lesser Scaups in Glamorgan and Cornwall, Red-breasted Goose in Devon, King Eider in Moray, Hooded Merganser in Cleveland, Richardson's Canada Goose in Argyll, Ring-necked Ducks in Cleveland, Carmarthenshire and Norfolk, Surf Scoters in Conwy (3) and Devon and Green-winged Teals in Hampshire and Merseyside. In Ireland the Thayer's Gull remained in Co Galway and a Glossy Ibis lingered in Co Cork. The best of the rest included Rose-coloured Starling in Cumbria, five Great White Egrets and four Cattle Egrets.
