	The highlight of the day was confirmation of two Pacific Divers in Cornwall, where the King Eider also remained. Rarities elsewhere comprised Black Scoters in both Cornwall and County Kerry, Laughing Gull on the Wirral, Ferruginous Duck in Gloucestershire, Ross's Goose in Northumberland, and Richardson's Cackling Geese in Argyll (2) and County Sligo. Scarcities included Yellow-browed Warbler (Devon), Ring-necked Duck (County Kerry), two each of Richard's Pipit and Surf Scoter, three each of Little Bunting, Glossy Ibis and Shorelark, six American Wigeons, seven each of Rough-legged Buzzard, Lapland Bunting and Great Grey Shrike, and 27 Waxwings. Gulls totaled 21 Glaucous, 15 Iceland, seven Caspian, six Ring-billed and two Kumlien's.
