	The highlight of the day was the discovery of Britain's first Masked Wagtail on a roof in Camrose, Pembrokeshire. This Asian form of White Wagtail has occurred as a vagrant in Norway (twice) and Sweden, and there are several records further south and east in the Western Palearctic (including multiple records in both Israel and Kuwait), so a British occurrence has long been on the cards. Elsewhere lingering rarities included Desert Wheatears in Devon and East Sussex, Hooded Mergaser in Ayrshire, Bonaparte's Gull in Devon, Ferruginous Duck in Berkshire, Eastern Black Redstart in Cleveland, Hudsonian Whimbrel in Cornwall, Lesser Yellowlegs in Dorset and Pallid Harrier in East Yorkshire, whilst in Norfolk the Isabelline Wheatear reappeared at Burnham Overy Dunes.
