	Long staying rarities confirmed as still present today included the Green Heron at Pentewan, Cornwall, the House Crow at Cobh, County Cork and the Long-billed Dowitcher at Lodmoor, Dorset. The adult Glossy Ibis was also still near Dunraven Bay, Glamorgan. Scarcity highlights included a Common Rosefinch in Gwynedd, a Grey Phalarope in Lothian, a Surf Scoter in Devon, a Great Grey Shrike in Lancashire, a Cattle Egret in Gloucestershire, two Great White Egrets and five Rough-legged Buzzards. A Stone Curlew on the Farne Islands, Northumberland was a remarkable record, as was a report of a Golden Oriole in Yorkshire. Two Ospreys, in Lincolnshire and Devon, were also very unseasonable. Several Pomarine Skuas were seen in inner London, with flocks of Tundra Bean Geese and Eider also seen over the city.
