	In Cornwall a Snowy Owl arrived at St Just, just a day after a Gyr was seen in the same area. Elsewhere lingering rarities included Hudsonian Whimbrel (Cornwall), Richardson's Cackling Goose (Co Sligo), American Herring Gull, Gyr and three White-billed Divers (Western Isles), Penduline Tit (Norfolk) and Long-billed Dowitcher (Leicestershire). The best of the rest included Woodchat Shrike and Hoopoe (Cornwall), Ring-necked Duck (Western Isles, Co Kerry [3] and Co Down), Pallas's Warbler (Dorset), two Richard's Pipits (East Yorkshire), Cattle Egrets (Co Sligo and Suffolk) and Wryneck (East Sussex).
