	In Aberdeenshire, the Rock Thrush continued her stay at Scotston, east of St Fergus, and was still present this evening. The Bridled Tern was again on Inner Farne, Northumberland, for the seventh day running. Late news from Tuesday concerned a stunning male Mongolian Sand Plover on the east beach at Lossiemouth, Moray, where it showed well for the camera, but it hasn't been seen since, despite daily searches. Other lingering rarities still present today included the White-rumped Sandpiper in Dorset, Lesser Yellowlegs in Carmarthenshire and single Bonaparte's Gulls in Kent and Lancashire. The drake scoter remained distant off Titchwell RSPB, Norfolk.
