  A Lesser Grey Shrike in Pembrokeshire was today's headline discovery, representing the fourth county record, following singles in 1974, 1993 and 1998.

In Wiltshire a Red-footed Falcon lingered over Bentley Wood before departing eastwards whilst in East Sussex the Marbled Duck found yesterday at Arlington Reservoir returned briefly this evening, having been missing for most of the day. Lingering rarities included the singing Western Bonelli's Warbler in Derbyshire, American Golden Plover in Lancashire, Bonaparte's Gull in Devon and Black Scoter in Aberdeenshire. In Ireland the two Pacific Golden Plovers lingered in Co Derry and the long-staying House Crow remained in Co Cork.

The best of the rest included the White-tailed Eagle in Lincolnshire, four Surf Scoters off Aberdeenshire, Hoopoe in Warwickshire and Great White Egret in Kent.
