	A Black-throated Thrush was at Gun Hill, Norfolk for a few minutes early morning, before it headed inland. Other new discoveries today included a Red-rumped Swallow at Sandwich, Kent and a Lesser Yellowlegs at Rogerstown, County Dublin. White-billed Divers were seen off Aberdeenshire (three: two off Collieston, one off Aberdeen), Fife (Fife Ness) and Yorkshire (Skipsea). Lingering rarities seen today included the Grey Catbird in Cornwall, Dusky Warbler and Rustic Bunting in Scilly, single Eastern Stonechat species in Shetland and Norfolk, Pied-billed Grebe in Shetland, Black Scoter in Northumberland, Lesser Scaup in Anglesey, Baird's Sandpiper in Gwent, Spotted Sandpiper in County Durham, single Lesser Yellowlegs in Cornwall, Dorset and Highland and Long-billed Dowitcher in Lincolnshire. The rest of the messages today mostly related to seawatching, with the east coast once again recording excellent numbers of Pomarine Skuas.
