	In Co Cork the Yellow Warbler remained at Mizen Head, but unfortunately the Portland (Dorset) Yellow Warbler had departed overnight. Elsewhere rarity highlights included Caspian Tern (Norfolk), Long-billed Dowitcher (Kent), Laughing Gull (Co Sligo), three Wilson's Petrels (Co Cork) and White-rumped Sandpiper (Lincolnshire). The best of the rest included Bluethroat (Suffolk), Red-backed Shrike (London), Purple Heron (Lancashire), Melodious Warbler (Cornwall), Dotterel (Conwy), Night Heron (Buckinghamshire), two Temminck's Stints, two Rose-coloured Starlings and five Pectoral Sandpipers. An Ortolan Bunting was sound-recorded over Portland Bill overnight between Monday and Tuesday.
