  The Bonelli's warbler at Scalloway, Shetland (present since yesterday) was heard to give the diagnostic call of Eastern Bonelli's Warbler late morning. Also found on the archipelago today was a Pechora Pipit at Kergord, a Siberian Stonechat at Hoswick and single Olive-backed Pipits at White Ness, Virkie, Wester Quarff and Uyeasound.

A Booted Warbler was new in at Torness, Lothian, as was an Arctic Warbler at Donna Nook, Lincolnshire and Little Bunting at Church Cove, Cornwall.
