	The highlight of the day was a brief Citrine Wagtail in East Yorkshire at Spurn. Spring rarities elsewhere included a Savi's Warbler in Dorset at Holton Heath, Pallid Swift on the Isles of Scilly, Pallid Harrier in Pembrokeshire, Iberian Chiffchaff in East Yorkshire, Western Subalpine Warbler in Gwynedd, Bee-eater in Shropshire, Red-rumped Swallow in County Dublin, and at least one Black Kite in Kent. Other rarities comprised the Pied-billed Grebe still in Somerset, Gyr on the Orkney Isles, King Eider on the Shetland Isles, two White-billed Divers together in Aberdeenshire, Little Bunting in Lancashire, Lesser Yellowlegs in County Louth, American Golden Plover in County Wicklow, Ferruginous Duck in Suffolk, and single Lesser Scaups in both Lancashire and West Yorkshire. Scarce migrants included Hoopoe (Cornwall and Lancashire), Woodchat Shrike (Cornwall (2), Norfolk, Pembrokeshire and Somerset), Serin (Devon), Richard's Pipit (Dorset), Montagu's Harrier (Kent and Pembrokeshire), and Dotterel (seven migrants across three counties).
