Thursday 17th November 2011
	The highlight of the day was the continued presence of the Veery in Highland on Muck, where it remained throughout the day. Elsewhere, lingering rarities included the Greater Yellowlegs in Northumberland, Eastern Black Redstarts in both Kent and Northumberland, Bufflehead in County Cork, Wilson's Snipe on the Isles of Scilly, Pallid Harrier in County Cork, Hume's Yellow-browed Warblers in Aberdeenshire, Shetland Isles and Suffolk, Dusky Warbler in Norfolk, Red-breasted Goose in both Devon and Essex, Spotted Sandpipers in both Devon and Somerset, Azorean Yellow-legged Gull in Staffordshire, Ferruginous Duck in Berkshire, two Ross's Geese together in Northumberland, and Glossy Ibis in both Dorset and Kent. The influx of Tundra Bean Geese continues with 157 logged today across nineteen counties from the Shetland Isles, to Anglesey, Somerset and Essex.
