  A Wilson's Phalarope was present at Gibraltar Point NNR, Lincolnshire for a few minutes this evening. The Devon Glossy Ibis flock split up, with two remaining on the Otter Estuary (with another still at Aveton Gifford) and the other 18 flying east to Dungeness RSPB, Kent. A Black Kite was seen in Suffolk, and late news concerned an immature Roller at Easington, Yorkshire yesterday.

The House Crow remained on show all day at Cobh, County Cork. The Lesser Grey Shrike was still on Scilly this morning, but couldn't be located later, and the King Eider was still off Minsmere, Suffolk. Other lingering rarities included Arctic Warbler in Norfolk, Whiskered Tern in Leicestershire, Blue-winged Teal in County Wexford and single Citrine Wagtails in County Limerick and the Isles of Scilly.

Scarcity highlights included two White-winged Black Terns, a Rose-coloured Starling, ten Buff-breasted Sandpipers, 11 Wrynecks, two Red-backed Shrikes, two Common Rosefinches and around 280 Lapland Buntings.
