Saturday 15th October 2011  
  The highlight of the day was the discovery of the first Isabelline Wheatear for Sussex, where it remained all afternoon at Crowlink Down. Birders not seeing the Rufous-tailed Robin in Norfolk were kept entertained by a Radde's Warbler and a Red-flanked Bluetail, at Weybourne and Holme respectively, along with good numbers of scarce migrants along the coast. Another Red-flanked Bluetail was a Northward Hill, Kent.

Other new arrivals included a male Northern Harrier in County Wexford, Olive-backed Pipit in Suffolk, Red-throated Pipits in Cornwall, Hampshire and County Cork (2), Penduline Tit in Kent, two Radde's Warblers on the Isles of Scilly, Dusky Warblers in Shetland and Kent, White-rumped Sandpipers in Leicestershire and the Western Isles, Lesser Yellowlegs' in the Isles of Scilly and Argyll, three American Golden Plovers in County Cork, Semipalmated Sandpiper in County Kerry, Glossy Ibises in Cleveland and Suffolk (3), Blue-winged Teals in Yorkshire and County Clare (2) and Ferruginous Duck in Norfolk.
