	In Dorset the American Royal Tern was seen off Weymouth at 5.30am, but, despite much searching, it wasn't located again. Other lingering rarities included the Black-headed Bunting at Norwick, Shetland, Semipalmated Sandpiper at Washington, County Durham, Great Reed Warbler at Fen Drayton, Cambridgeshire, Iberian Chiffchaff at Otley, Yorkshire and Bonaparte's Gull at Oare, Kent. Scarcity highlights included a Spotted Crake, a Glaucous Gull, two Honey Buzzards, six Rose-coloured Starlings and eight Cattle Egrets.
