Lingering rarities confirmed as still present comprised the Siberian Rubythroat on the Shetland Isles, Brown Shrike in Argyll, Northern Harrier in County Wexford, Black Scoter in Northumberland, Pallid Harriers in both Ayrshire and County Cork, Desert Wheatear on the Orkney Isles, Daurian Shrike in Pembrokeshire, Squacco Heron in Nottinghamshire, Red-breasted Goose in Dorset, Bonaparte's Gull in Cornwall, King Eider in Moray, Baird's Sandpipers in the Orkney Isles and County Wexford, Spotted Sandpiper in Devon, two Long-billed Dowitchers together in Somerset, Lesser Yellowlegs on Anglesey, White-rumped Sandpiper in Leicestershire, Glossy Ibises in County Cork (2), East Sussex, Kent and County Wexford (3), and Ferruginous Ducks in Berkshire, Lincolnshire and Somerset.
