	An American Golden Plover at Heir Island, County Cork was the only new rarity found today, with lingering rarities including just the Black-headed Bunting in Highland, Forster's Tern in County Wexford, Broad-billed Sandpiper in Norfolk and Bonaparte's Gull in Devon. Headline scarcities were a Surf Scoter in County Durham, a Red-necked Phalarope in Worcestershire, an American Wigeon in Aberdeenshire, a Hoopoe in Hampshire, a Pectoral Sandpiper in County Wexford and an unseasonable Taiga Bean Goose in Orkney.
