	Highlight of the day was the discovery of a Brown Shrike at Spurn, East Yorkshire, the fifth record of the autumn, but the first away from the Northern Isles. Elsewhere new discoveries comprised Blyth's Pipit (Isles of Scilly), Dusky Warblers (Devon and Isle of Wight) and Isabelline Shrike (Co Cork), whilst American Buff-bellied Pipit (Co Sligo), Eastern Black Redstart (Cleveland), Radde's Warbler (Co Cork), Long-billed Dowitcher (Kent, Co Wexford and Lincolnshire), Lesser Yellowlegs (Somerset and Dorset), Dalmatian Pelican, Franklin's Gull and Hudsonian Whimbrel (Cornwall), Western Purple Swamphen (Lincolnshire), Isabelline Wheatear (Norfolk), Olive-backed Pipit (Scilly) and Coues's Arctic Redpoll (Shetland) all lingered.
