	On Isles of Scilly the Rock Thrush continued its stay on St Martin's, whilst a Red-rumped Swallow, Western Subalpine Warbler and Purple Heron were also logged on the archipelago. Elsewhere new discoveries included Red-rumped Swallow in East Yorkshire and Black-winged Stilt in Somerset, and Bonaparte's Gull (Oxfordshire), Northern Harrier (Orkney), Long-billed Dowitcher (Co Wexford) and Lesser Yellowlegs (Carmarthenshire) all lingered. The best of the rest included Yellow-browed Warbler (Devon) and Woodchat Shrike (Co Waterford).
