	The highlight of the day was confirmation of a territorial Iberian Chiffchaff present in Blackpool, Lancashire for a second day. Elsewhere, a Black-headed Wagtail was on Tresco, Isles of Scilly, whilst brief encounters included an Alpine Swift in Lancashire, Red-rumped Swallow in East Yorkshire, Bee-eater in Lothian, and Black Kites in both Kent and the Orkney Isles. Lingering rarities confirmed as still present today comprised Collared Flycatcher on the Shetland Isles, Barolo Little Shearwater in Devon, Rufous Turtle Dove in Oxfordshire, Bonaparte's Gulls in both Cornwall and Devon, single Subalpine Warblers in East Yorkshire, Orkney Isles and Shetland Isles, White-billed Divers in Moray, Shetland Isles and Western Isles, American Golden Plover in Cornwall and Lesser Scaup in Gloucestershire.
