Wednesday 16th November 2011  
  In Scotland, there came news of a Veery on the island of Muck in Highland, which was still present late in the afternoon. This is only the tenth record for this species and most of these have been on islands. Two Olive-backed Pipits were found in Shetland, one on Mainland and one on Unst. There was a Penduline Tit at Oare Marshes KWT in north Kent and another Eastern Black Redstart was found, this one on Holy Island in Northumberland.

Other rarity highlights today included the Eastern Black Redstart in Kent, Greater Yellowlegs in Northumberland, Wilson's Snipe in the Isles of Scilly, Bufflehead in Cornwall, Hume's Yellow-browed Warbler in Suffolk, Semipalmated Sandpiper in Cleveland, Azorean Yellow-legged Gull in Staffordshire, White-billed Diver in the Western Isles, Red-breasted Goose in Essex, four Richardson's Canada Geese in Argyll, single Dusky Warblers in Norfolk, Yorkshire and the Isles of Scilly, single Spotted Sandpipers in Somerset and Devon and single Glossy Ibises in Devon, Dorset, Kent and Anglesey.
