	The Mourning Dove on Rhum (Highland) was today's headline lingering rarity, whilst elsewhere Dusky Warblers in Cornwall and West Midlands, Rustic Bunting in Aberdeenshire, American Golden Plover in Co Down, Red-breasted Goose in Hampshire, Two-barred Crossbills in Norfolk and Surrey, White-billed Diver in Co Kerry, two White-rumped Sandpipers in Cornwall and Blue-winged Teal in Lincolnshire all lingered. New discoveries included a flock of five Northern Long-tailed Tits on Unst (Shetland) and White-rumped Sandpiper on North Uist (Western Isles). The best of the rest included eight Glossy Ibises, six Yellow-browed Warblers, two Red-backed Shrikes, two Cattle Egrets, two Richard's Pipits, Parrot Crossbill (Kent), Surf Scoter and Rose-coloured Starling (Cornwall) and Wryneck (Co Cork).
