	A Wilson's Petrel flew past Gwennap Head, Cornwall late morning, with another seen from a Scilly pelagic this evening. Lingering rarities included the Hudsonian Whimbrel and Dalmatian Pelican in Cornwall, Spotted Sandpiper in Devon, Lesser Yellowlegs in County Dublin and Bonaparte's Gull in Kent. Scarcity highlights included an American Golden Plover, a Pectoral Sandpiper, a Red-necked Phalarope, a Temminck's Stint, a Purple Heron, a Pomarine Skua, two Great Shearwaters and six Glossy Ibises.
