	This week's diver boat trip off the Aberdeenshire coast found at least 14 White-billed Divers off Portsoy. Further south, the identity of the Coues's Arctic Redpoll at Barton-upon-Humber, Lincolnshire was confirmed, with the bird now present for it's 6th day. Lingering rarities seen today included the Sora on the Isles of Scilly, American Coot in Highland, White-billed Diver in Moray, Dusky Warbler in Suffolk, Red-rumped Swallow in Dorset and Two-barred Crossbills in Greater Manchester and Norfolk (three). The first three Little Terns were seen along the south coast, a Black Tern was in Gloucestershire and a Sooty Shearwater was off the Western Isles, with growing numbers of Ring Ouzels and Redstarts reported elsewhere.
