	The Pied-billed Grebe remained at Lough Gur (Co Limerick) whilst elsewhere in Ireland the Black Duck lingered in Co Mayo. In Britain rarities included American Golden Plover in Lincolnshire, Little Buntings in Highland and Cornwall, Black Duck in Cornwall, Lesser Scaups in Glamorgan, Clyde and Cornwall, Black Kite in Powys, King Eider in Moray and Glossy Ibises in Somerset. On Anglesey the adult Bonaparte's Gull reappeared at Traeth Lligwy. In Essex a Pallas's Warbler was reported in Braintree, the Rose-coloured Starling was still present in Cumbria and in Dumfries and Galloway the American Wigeon continued to show well at Caerlaverock WWT.
