	In Shetland a Western Bonelli's Warbler was found on Mainland at Gulberwick. On Scilly a Bee-eater was seen on St.Mary's and the Woodchat Shrike remained on the same island. In Ireland the Semi-palmated Sandpiper was again seen at Ventry in County Kerry and the American Golden Plover remained at Doonbeg in County Clare. Other lingering rarities included the Black Kite in Cornwall and Ferrunginous Ducks in Somerset and Suffolk. In Pembrokeshire the Melodious Warbler continued to perform well at Martin's Haven, the Woodchat Shrike was still to be found in Gloucestershire, the Cattle Egret remained in Hampshire and a Pectoral Sandpiper was still in Norfolk.
