Sandpiper, Blue-winged Teal, Bee-eater, four Buff-breasted
Sandpipers, Woodchat Shrike and three Pectoral Sandpipers.

Elsewhere new discoveries included Pallid Harrier on Mull (Argyll), Blyth's Reed Warbler in Co Kerry, two Semipalmated Sandpipers in Co Mayo and Red-rumped Swallow and Ortolan Bunting in Co Cork. Shetland continued to host Great Snipe, Little Bunting, Citrine Wagtail and Short-toed Lark on Fair Isle whilst a Pallid Harrier lingered near Hillwell (Mainland).
