	New discoveries comprised an Isabelline Shrike in Essex and Eastern Black Redstart in Cleveland, whilst Isles of Scilly hosted a possible Asian House Martin, the first for Britain if the identification is confirmed. Elsewhere Siberian Accentors lingered on Shetland and Orkney, Isles of Scilly produced at least three Olive-backed Pipits, whilst Dalmatian Pelican, Franklin’s Gull and Hudsonian Whimbrel (Cornwall), Lesser Yellowlegs (Dorset and Somerset), Ferruginous Duck (Hertfordshire), Hume’s Yellow-browed Warbler (East Yorkshire), Dusky Warblers (Norfolk [2], Kent and Scilly), Long-billed Dowitcher (Kent), Western Purple Swamphen (Lincolnshire), Isabelline and Desert Wheatears [2] (Norfolk), Squacco Heron (Pembrokeshire) and Coues’s Arctic Redpoll (Shetland) were also recorded.
