	Today's headline rarities were the Harlequin Duck on Western Isles and Pied-billed Grebe in Somerset, whilst the Lesser Scaups in Gwent, Cornwall and Cleveland, Ferruginous Duck in Oxfordshire, Red-breasted Goose in Hampshire, Lesser Yellowlegs in Devon and Black Duck in Co Mayo also lingered. The best of the rest included Rose-coloured Starling (Devon), Kentish Plover (East Sussex) and White-spotted Bluethroat (Dorset).
