Saturday 27th November 2010  
  In Dumfries and Galloway, a drake Blue-winged Teal was present for its second day at Threave Castle, near Castle Douglas. Further south, both Northern Harriers remained in situ, in Norfolk and County Wexford, as did the American Coot in County Mayo, House Crow and American Golden Plover in County Cork, Forster's Tern in County Galway, Long-billed Dowitcher in Dorset, Lesser Yellowlegs in Leicestershire, Ferruginous Duck in County Down and Coues's Arctic Redpoll in Cambridgeshire.

News of a first-winter drake Baikal Teal at Cambourne, Cambridgeshire was quickly corrected, when photos were released which clearly showed a hybrid.

Scarcity highlights included a Common Rosefinch in Glamorgan, a Hoopoe in Dorset, a Cattle Egret and Surf Scoter in Devon, two Rough-legged Buzzards, two Great Grey Shrikes, three Yellow-browed Warblers, four Grey Phalaropes and six Great White Egrets.
