	The highlight of the day was the discovery of the sixth Desert Wheatear of the autumn in Britain: in Cornwall, at Porthgwarra. Nearby, Pacific Diver, Lesser Yellowlegs and Dusky Warbler all remained in Cornwall, whilst continuing rarities elsewhere comprised the Isabelline Wheatear still in Cleveland and the Red-breasted Goose on the Orkney Isles. Scarcities included Rose-coloured Starling (Somerset), Hoopoe (Dorset), Common Rosefinch (County Cork), Surf Scoter (Lothian), Ring-billed Gull (Hampshire), Green-winged Teal (Cleveland), two each of American Wigeon, Great Grey Shrike and Cattle Egret, three Rough-legged Buzzards, four Yellow-browed Warblers, five Caspian Gulls, seven Little Auks, 12 Tundra Bean Geese, and 20 Great White Egrets; including 12 together in Kent.
