	In East Yorkshire the Ivory Gull lingered at Patrington Haven, whilst another Ivory Gull was on Lewis (Western Isles) for its fourth day. Elsewhere lingering rarities included Bonaparte's Gull in Devon, Two-barred Crossbills in South Yorkshire (7) and Shropshire (3) and Glossy Ibises in Cornwall (2), Gloucestershire (2), Devon and Suffolk. The best of the rest included Hoopoe (Conwy), Rose-coloured Starling (Isles of Scilly) and the flock of 14 Parrot Crossbills (Nottinghamshire).
