	In County Wicklow, a juvenile Northern Harrier (form hudsonius) was superbly photographed at Kilcoole, whilst another remained at Tacumshin, County Wexford. Also in Ireland, the adult Forster's Tern returned once again to County Galway, being seen at Doorus Pier. In Britain, new rarities included a flock of three Northern Long-tailed Tits in Lowestoft, Suffolk, and a Coues's Arctic Redpoll at Strath Brora, Highland, with an impressive flock of over a thousand Lesser and 150 Mealy Redpolls. In Greater Manchester, the Pied-billed Grebe continued to show very well to all comers, whilst further south, the American Robin showed well during the morning only. The Green Heron was still present in Cornwall, as was the Semipalmated Sandpiper and House Crow in County Cork, American Buff-bellied Pipit and White-rumped Sandpiper in County Waterford, single Squacco Herons in Pembrokeshire and Northumberland, American Golden Plover in Norfolk, King Eider in Suffolk, Dusky Warbler in Isles of Scilly, Red-breasted Goose in Lancashire and single Glossy Ibises in Devon (2) and Norfolk.
