	The only new rarity today was a Caspian Tern in County Louth, with the main news being the lingering juvenile Thayer's Gull in Lincolnshire. Despite being mobile around Elsham, it remained in the area from late morning, and often showed well. Other rarities confirmed as still present included the Falcated Duck and Black Duck in County Mayo, Greater Yellowlegs, White-billed Diver and King Eider in Aberdeenshire, Black-winged Stilt in County Wexford, two Long-billed Dowitchers and a Spotted Sandpiper in Somerset, Hume's Yellow-browed Warbler in Dorset, Lesser Scaup in Glamorgan and Little Bunting in Devon. Glossy Ibises were in Pembrokeshire (3), Dorset (2) Essex and Suffolk.
