	Two new discoveries probably involved wandering birds, a Black Stork in Lincolnshire and Caspian Tern in Glamorgan and Camarthenshire, whilst a Two-barred Crossbill on Isle of May (Fife) was new in. Lingering rarities included King Eider (Ceredigion), Forster's Tern (Co Louth), White-rumped Sand (East Yorkshire), Bonaparte's Gull and Marsh Sandpiper (Kent), and families of Bee-eaters in Nottinghamshire and Black-winged Stilts in Cambridgeshire and Kent. Four Wilson's Petrels were logged from an Isles of Scilly pelagic. The best of the rest included American Night Heron (Shropshire), Short-toed Lark (Lothian) and two Rose-coloured Starlings (Highland and Shetland).
