Friday 27th November 2015
	The highlight of the day was the continued presence of the American Bittern in County Cork, whilst the Spotted Sandpiper remained nearby. On the Shetland Isles the Western Rufous Turtle Dove showed again, as did the Pacific Diver in Cornwall, Pallid Harrier in Norfolk, Lesser Scaup in Somerset, and both Black Scoter and Gull-billed Tern in County Kerry. Scarcities included Barred Warbler (Lothian), Hoopoe (West Midlands), Rough-legged Buzzard (Hertfordshire), Surf Scoter (Lothian), Kumlien's Gull (County Cork), two Lapland Buntings, four each of both Yellow-browed Warbler and Ring-necked Duck, and 15 Waxwings.
