	The Sooty Tern was seen on the Ythan Estuary in the morning and again in the evening. The Pacific Golden Plover was on the Findhorn Estuary in Moray during the day and the Ferrunginous Duck was seen again at Abberton Reservoir in Essex in the morning. The long staying Bonaparte's Gull was still in Kent but there was no sign of the Lesser Yellowlegs in Norfolk. Scarcities included Surf Scoters (Angus and Durham), Purple Heron (Leicestershire), Temminck's Stint (Surrey), Buff-breasted Sandpiper (Yorkshire), Green-winged Teal (Cleveland), Spotted Crake (Norfolk), Pectoral Sandpipers (Cornwall, County Wexford and Northumberland), and Ring-billed Gull and Rose-coloured Starling (Western Isles).
