	A Hume's Yellow-browed Warbler was discovered at Trimingham, Norfolk today, together with two Pallas's Warblers and a Yellow-browed Warbler in the same wood, and the Melodious Warbler remained nearby in Happisburgh. Another White-rumped Sandpiper in the Western Isles was the only other new rarity, apart from the belated news of a Yellow-billed Cuckoo in County Wexford, in late October. Lingering rarity highlights included the Steppe Grey Shrike in Shropshire, Northern Waterthrush in the Isles of Scilly, Bufflehead in Cornwall, Isabelline Wheatear in Glamorgan, Pied Wheatear and Arctic Redpoll in Yorkshire, single Desert Wheatears in Cleveland and Cornwall and single Dusky Warblers in Suffolk and Aberdeenshire.
