Elsewhere, a Wilson's Phalarope arrived in County Antrim at Belfast Lough, a Subalpine Warbler was seen briefly in Essex at Holland Haven, single Bonaparte's Gulls were found in both in Highland at Dornoch, and on the Western Isles on Lewis, whilst a White-rumped Sandpiper was found in Kent at Dungeness, with now two together in Norfolk at Snettisham. Lingering rarities comprised Wilson's Phalarope and Blue-winged Teal together in Cleveland, Black Duck in County Mayo, Bonaparte's Gull in County Durham, American Golden Plover in County Clare, Bee-eater on the Isles of Scilly, and single Black Kites in both Cornwall and Devon.
