Monday 20th October 2014
	The highlight of the day was the discovery of a Black Scoter in Angus at Lunan Bay, whilst in East Yokshire a Pallid Swift flew over Flamborough Head. Elsewhere, lingering rarities confirmed as still present were the Spotted Sandpiper in Aberdeenshire, Semipalmated Sandpiper in Devon, Booted Warbler in Lothian, Siberian Stonechat in Hampshire, Olive-backed Pipit in County Durham, and both Forster's Tern and Lesser Yellowlegs in County Dublin. On the Shetland Isles the Hume's Yellow-browed Warbler remained with Red-throated Pipit, Olive-backed Pipit, Little Bunting, Red-breasted Flycatcher and four Lapland Buntings. Meanwhile, on the Isles of Scilly, Short-toed Lark, Rose-coloured Starling, Richard's Pipit, Green-winged Teal and Yellow-browed Warbler were all logged. Scarcities included Kentish Plover (Glamorgan), White-winged Black Tern (East Sussex), Pallas's Warbler (Norfolk), Rose-coloured Starling (Cornwall), Hoopoe (Dumfries and Galloway), and a total of eight Rough-legged Buzzards.
