  A Long-billed Dowitcher at Inner Marsh Farm RSPB (Cheshire) was probably the same bird that spent yesterday at Neumann's Flash, approximately 22 miles ENE of Inner Marsh Farm RSPB.

Elsewhere lingering rarities included House Finch in Devon, two Glossy Ibises in Co Dublin and American Golden Plover in Co Clare.

Scarcities comprised two Barred Warblers and two Great White Egrets as well as Spotted Crake (Co Durham), Common Rosefinch (Shetland), Red-backed Shrike (Cornwall), Cattle Egret (Kent), Pectoral Sandpiper (Northumberland) and Dotterel (Cornwall).

The seawatching highlight of the day was the second claim of a probable Short-tailed Shearwater of the month, this time off Pendeen (Cornwall).
