  In Dorset, the Brunnich's Guillemot remained in Portland Harbour, where it often showed exceptionally well. Other lingering rarities seen today included the American Buff-bellied Pipit in Cheshire, White-billed Diver in Devon, single Bonaparte's Gulls in Devon and Cornwall, Lesser Yellowlegs in Hampshire and six Two-barred Crossbills in both Yorkshire and Gloucestershire.
