	In Cornwall the Amur Falcon spent the first few hours of the day around Porthgwarra before moving down the valley towards the sea at around 9.30am. It was seen again at 11am when it headed towards Sennen Airfield, but was not seen again. New discoveries today were of a Long-billed Dowitcher at Boulmer in Northumberland and two flyover Bee-eaters at Bexleyheath in London. King Eiders were still at Ynyslas in Ceredigion and at Blackdog in Aberdeenshire but there was no sign of the American White-winged Scoter at the latter site. The Greenish Warbler remained on Fair Isle and other remaining rarities comprised the Black-winged Stilts in Norfolk, Savi's Warbler in Suffolk and Bee-eaters in Nottinghamshire. There was a Red-necked Phalarope in Aberdeenshire and Purple Herons remained in Suffolk and County Wicklow.
