	Highlight of the day was the discovery of a stonking adult Pacific Golden Plover at Rutland Water (Leicestershire). Elsewhere the adult Bonaparte's Gull reappeared at Heysham (Lancashire), the Bridled Tern again visited Farne Islands (Northumberland) and the Lesser Yellowlegs remained in Carmarthenshire. The long-staying Glossy Ibis was still in Pembrokeshire. Scarcity sightings included Red-backed Shrikes in Aberdeenshire and Norfolk, Pectoral Sandpipers in Essex and London, Ring-necked Duck in North Yorkshire, Cattle Egret in Kent, Common Rosefinch in Perth & Kinross, Great White Egret in Norfolk and Golden Oriole in Lincolnshire.
