	Lingering rarities included Red-flanked Bluetails in Suffolk, Hampshire and on Isles of Scilly, House Finch in Devon, two Penduline Tits in London, Lesser Yellowlegs in Oxfordshire, Green Heron in Cornwall, King Eider in Suffolk, Glossy Ibis on Anglesey, Squacco Heron in Pembrokeshire and American Golden Plover on Western Isles. On Isles of Scilly, as well as the aforementioned Red-flanked Bluetail, a Subalpine Warbler was also recorded. In Ireland the American Buff-bellied Pipit and Long-billed Dowitcher (Co Waterford), Blue-winged Teal, Lesser Yellowlegs and three White-rumped Sandpipers (Co Wexford) and American Golden Plover (Co Cork) all lingered. The Rough-legged Buzzard invasion continued, with perhaps as many as 17 different birds being recorded today, mainly in East Anglia and Southeast England.
