	In Suffolk, the Lesser Kestrel remained on Westleton Heath, giving distant views throughout the day. The Great Grey Shrike was also still on site, and the Pallid Swift was present for much of the day at Kessingland. An Alpine Swift was seen here briefly this afternoon, with one still in Lowestoft until midday. Elsewhere, Alpine Swifts were seen in Kent, Hampshire and Norfolk. The Two-barred Crossbill was present this morning at least at The Lodge RSPB, Bedfordshire, with other lingering rarities including Pied-billed Grebe in County Limerick, two Penduline Tits in Kent, Little Bunting in Highland and Lesser Scaup in Somerset. Scarcities seen today include a Bluethroat, Common Crane and White-tailed Eagle in Northumberland, a Hoopoe in Dorset, a Purple Heron on the Isles of Scilly, an American Wigeon in Dumfries and Galloway, a Surf Scoter in Devon, two Ring-necked Ducks, four Great Grey Shrikes, a Great White Egret in Gloucestershire, a Lapland Bunting in Lincolnshire and six Waxwings in Suffolk.
