	In Devon a Little Bunting was trapped and ringed at South Milton Ley, confirming that two different Little Buntings are currently present at the site; a Little Bunting was also trapped and ringed there on 19th March. Lingering rarities included Northern Waterthrush on Isles of Scilly, Greater Yellowlegs and King Eider in Aberdeenshire, Lesser Yellowlegs in Cornwall, Long-billed Dowitchers in Somerset (2) and Dumfries & Galloway, Spotted Sandpiper in Somerset, Lesser Scaup in Somerset and Highland and Hume's Yellow-browed Warbler in Dorset. A Blue-winged Teal was in Co Dublin (whilst another remained in Cornwall) and Glossy Ibises lingered in Cleveland, Lancashire, Dorset (2), Suffolk, Essex and Western Isles. Scarcities were represented by two Night Herons (Cornwall), at least eleven Hoopoes, Richard's Pipit (Dorset), Pectoral Sandpiper (Ayrshire), Purple Heron (Co Waterford) and Rose-coloured Starling (Hampshire).
