Elsewhere lingering rarities included the Roller in East Yorkshire, River Warbler on Shetland, Iberian Chiffchaffs in Cornwall and Somerset, Long-billed Dowitcher in Cleveland and American Eider in Co Donegal. A Black-winged Stilt in Norfolk and Wilson's Petrel off Isles of Scilly were also logged. Glossy Ibises were noted in Pembrokeshire, West Sussex, Hampshire, Co Fermanagh and Suffolk (2), a Night Heron lingered in Hampshire, Woodchat Shrikes were in Norfolk and Highland and a Purple Heron was still in Kent.
