Monday 4th October 2010  
  In Shetland, the Channerwick Booted Warbler was re-identified as a Sykes's Warbler today. It remained elusive, with most views being of it in flight. Elsewhere in Shetland the Black-headed Bunting and Citrine Wagtail remained on Out Skerries (with another of the latter still at Sandwick, Mainland), Radde's Warbler at Sumburgh, American Buff-bellied Pipit at Esha Ness, Hornemann's Arctic Redpoll and two Little Buntings on Unst and another Hornemann's Arctic Redpoll on Fair Isle.

Further south, new discoveries included a Rustic Bunting in Isles of Scilly, a Ross's Goose in Angus and both Red-throated Pipit and Red-footed Falcon on Portland, Dorset.

Rare waders recorded included single Wilson's Phalaropes in Norfolk and County Wexford, single Lesser Yellowlegs' in Western Isles and County Wexford, Semipalmated Sandpiper in Essex, single Spotted Sandpipers in Isles of Scilly and Devon and single American Golden Plovers in Yorkshire and County Kerry. Two Blue-winged Teals remained in County Wexford, four Glossy Ibises were in Devon (3) and Dorset and the Siberian Stonechat was still at Nanquidno Valley, Cornwall.
