	In Glamorgan an Isabelline Wheatear was discovered mid afternoon on The Gower, at Wernffrwd, where it remained until dusk. The Isabelline Wheatear at Spurn, Yorkshire also remained in situ until dark, after it had shown very well throughout the day. Two American Buff-bellied Pipits were found today, both in Ireland, one in County Wexford and one in County Cork. In Shetland, a Pine Bunting was at Haroldswick, Unst, and a Dusky Warbler was at Exnaboe, Mainland, whilst a Blyth's Reed Warbler was nearby on Fair Isle. Two White-rumped Sandpipers were together at Towyn, Gwynedd, and two Glossy Ibises flew over Huntspill, Somerset, with another on the latter also found in Devon. Significant late news concerned a male Spectacled Warbler at Needs Ore Point, Hampshire last weekend. Lingering rarity highlights included Steppe Grey Shrike in Shropshire, Northern Harrier in County Wexford, Squacco Heron in Nottinghamshire, Brown Shrike in Argyll, Daurian Shrike in Pembrokeshire, Desert Wheatear in Orkney, Dusky Warbler in Aberdeenshire, Pallid Harrier in Ayrshire, Wilson's Snipe in the Isles of Scilly, Lesser Yellowlegs in Lincolnshire and two Long-billed Dowitchers in Somerset.
