	A Gyr on Lewis (Western Isles) was today's headline discovery, whilst Killdeer (Shetland), Pallid Harrier (Norfolk), Ferruginous Duck (Northumberland), Black Duck (Highland), Blue Rock Thrush (Gloucestershire), Hume's Warbler (Dorset), Bonaparte's Gull (Cornwall), Northern Harrier (Orkney), King Eider (Co Sligo) and Eastern Black Redstart (Cleveland) all lingered. The best of the rest included Bluethroat (Lincolnshire), Rose-coloured Starling (West Sussex), Hoopoe (Cornwall) and Little Bunting (Bedfordshire).
