Potentially the second Northern Harrier for the Western Palearctic was present for its second day at Tacumshin, County Wexford, with the Lesser Yellowlegs also remaining on site. Nearby, the American Buff-bellied Pipit was still at Carne Harbour and the White-rumped Sandpiper was at Ballinclamper, County Waterford. The female Blue-winged Teal was seen once again at North Bull Island, County Dublin.

Other new arrivals today included a Northern Long-tailed Tit at Stiffkey, Norfolk, American Golden Plover at Freiston Shore RSPB, Lincolnshire and Red-breasted Goose at Marshside RSPB, Merseyside. A Pallid Swift was present at Dunwich, Suffolk yesterday.

Lingering rarities seen today included Green Heron in Cornwall, Dusky Warbler and Spotted Sandpiper in Isles of Scilly, single King Eiders in Moray and Suffolk and Lesser Yellowlegs in Oxfordshire.
