	Yesterday's Western Orphean Warbler had disappeared, but a fine selection of new rarities were discovered, including a Thrush Nightingale in Fife, Bonaparte's Gull on Shetland, Black-winged Stilt in West Yorkshire, Red-footed Falcons in Suffolk, Norfolk and Essex, Gull-billed Tern in South Yorkshire, Greenish Warbler in Co Cork, Great Reed Warbler and Red-rumped Swallow in Norfolk, Bee-eater in Gwynedd, two Subalpine Warblers in Devon and Squacco Heron in Kent. Rarities confirmed as still being present were the Baillon's Crake in Anglesey, Forster's Tern and Red-footed Falcon in Co Wexford, Black-headed Bunting on Shetland, Iberian Chiffchaff in Cornwall and Great Reed Warbler in Somerset.
