  A juvenile American Herring Gull roosted in Mount's Bay, Cornwall, this evening.

Lingering rarities included Long-billed Dowitchers in Leicestershire and Northumberland, Ferruginous Ducks in Buckinghamshire and Norfolk, Pallid Harrier in Norfolk, Coues's Arctic Redpoll in Northumberland, Penduline Tits in Gloucestershire (2) and Cleveland and Lesser Scaup in Co Antrim.

The best of the rest included Cattle Egret (Suffolk), Yellow-browed Warbler (Cornwall), two Waxwings (Northumberland and West Midlands), two Glossy Ibises (Cornwall and Suffolk) and six Shorelarks.

A probable American Robin was reported in Moray (apparently present for its third day).
