	The reappearance of the Stilt Sandpiper in Christchurch Harbour (Dorset) and the discovery of an adult Pacific Diver in Co Cork were today's highlights, whilst Hume's Warbler and Coues's Arctic Redpoll (Norfolk), King Eider (Ceredigion and Shetland), Lesser Scaup (Somerset and Cornwall), Black Scoter (Northumberland), Desert Wheatear (North Yorkshire) and Penduline Tit (Gloucestershire) all lingered. The best of the rest included Richard's Pipit (Gloucestershire), Yellow-browed Warbler (Dorset), Rose-coloured Starling (East Yorkshire), Temminck's Stint (West Sussex), two Glossy Ibises, seven Waxwings and 19 Parrot Crossbills.
