	A White-crowned Black Wheatear was seen in a garden in Scunthorpe, Lincolnshire early this afternoon. This could potentially be a second for Britain, following the male present for four or five days in early June 1982 at Kessingland, Suffolk. Other new discoveries today included a Lesser Yellowlegs at Kilnsea, Yorkshire, a White-rumped Sandpiper at Tacumshin, County Wexford, a Bonaparte's Gull at Lulworth Cove, Dorset and a Ferruginous Duck at Shapwick Heath, Somerset. Lingering rarities included Pacific Diver and Lesser Scaup in Cornwall, Coues's Arctic Redpoll in Suffolk, Long-billed Dowitchers in Kent (two) and County Wexford, Lesser Yellowlegs in Dorset and King Eider in Highland.
