	A Pallid Harrier which flew over Spurn, Yorkshire was presumably the bird seen yesterday at Easington. Today it flew south into Lincolnshire, and wasn't reported again. Single Tawny Pipits were at Landguard, Suffolk and on St Mary's, Isles of Scilly, with other new discoveries including a Blue-winged Teal in Clyde, a Black Kite in Somerset, an American Golden Plover and four Glossy Ibises in County Wexford (the latter presumably relocating from Marloes Mere, Pembrokeshire) and a Red-rumped Swallow in Yorkshire. Other Glossy Ibises were found in County Cork and Sussex. Lingering rarities seen today included the Savi's Warbler in Leicestershire, Long-billed Dowitcher in Suffolk, White-billed Diver in Moray, King Eider in Aberdeenshire, Red-rumped Swallows in the Isles of Scilly (2), County Cork, Oxfordshire and Gwent, Black-winged Stilts in Cambridgeshire and Kent (4) and Glossy Ibis in Anglesey. The possible Atlas Flycatcher remained in Yorkshire.
