	In England rarities today comprised the Rufous Turtle Dove still in Oxfordshire, Pacific Diver in Cornwall, Northern Harrier in Norfolk, Long-billed Dowitcher in Dorset, Lesser Scaups in both Cornwall and Gloucestershire, Ferruginous Duck in Suffolk, Coues's Arctic Redpoll in East Yorkshire and at least three Northern Long-tailed Tits still in Kent. Meanwhile, in Scotland the Northern Harrier showed again on the Western Isles, and a Richardson's Canada Goose remained in Argyll. In Ireland both American Coot and Black Duck were in County Mayo, and in County Galway the Forster's Tern was seen again. In Wales the Bonaparte's Gull continued it's stay on Anglesey.
