	On Fair Isle (Shetland) the Swinhoe's Petrel was again trapped overnight during a Storm Petrel ringing session. Seawatchers logged Fea's Petrels off Bridges of Ross (Co Clare) (2), Berry Head (Devon) and Galley Head (Co Cork). On Orkney a Blue-winged Teal arrived on North Ronaldsay and on Shetland a second Citrine Wagtail joined the bird already present on Fair Isle. Elsewhere lingering rarities included Bonaparte's Gull in Lancashire, Blue-winged Teal in Cambridgeshire, Snowy Owl in Co Donegal, Lesser Yellowlegs in Carmarthenshire and at least five Two-barred Crossbills in South Yorkshire. Scarcities included Pectoral Sandpipers in Kent, Orkney and Co Wexford, two Buff-breasted Sandpipers in Co Wexford, Night Heron in South Yorkshire, Woodchat Shrike in Lincolnshire and Temminck's Stint in Kent.
