	In North Yorkshire a first-winter male Desert Wheatear arrived at Long Nab, Burniston. Lingering rarities included Pied-billed Grebe in Greater Manchester, Green Heron in Cornwall, Long-billed Dowitcher in Dorset, Glossy Ibises in Devon and American Golden Plover in Norfolk. In Ireland the House Crow and Semipalmated Sandpiper (Co Cork), Northern Harrier (Co Wexford) and Ferruginous Duck (Co Down) all remained on show. Standout scarcities comprised Pallas's Warblers in Gwynedd, East Yorkshire and East Sussex, Wryneck in Devon and Yellow-browed Warbler in Dumfries & Galloway, whilst Waxwings were still plentiful.
