	The highlight of the day was the discovery of a Ferruginous Duck in Suffolk at Leathes Ham, Lowestoft. Elsewhere, lingering rarities comprised the Northern Harrier still in Norfolk, Long-billed Dowitcher in Dorset, King Eider in Moray and Ross's Goose in Dumfries and Galloway. Scarcities included eight Lapland Buntings, seven Tundra Bean Geese (together in Worcestershire), four Caspian Gulls, three each of both Green-winged Teal and Glaucous Gull, two Iceland Gulls and single Ring-necked Duck (West Midlands), Ring-billed Gull (West Yorkshire), Great Grey Shrike (Forth), Great White Egret (Nottinghamshire) and Black Brant (Essex).
