	On Shetland, the Tengmalm's Owl afforded reasonable views at its Mainland roost near Bixter for much of the day; however, the best views were given as it active at dusk. Other ongoing rarities were Pied-billed Grebe in Shetland, Penduline Tit in Greater London, Coues's Arctic Redpoll in Norfolk, Red-rumped Swallow in Glamorgan, Lesser Yellowlegs in Dorset and Richardson's Cackling Goose in Argyl. Scarcities included the Temminck's Stint, a Rose-coloured Starling, two Pallas's Warblers, four Yellow-browed Warblers, five Great Grey Shrikes, eight Shorelarks, two Rough-legged Buzzards, four Glossy Ibises, an American Wigeon, three Green-winged Teal, 13 Ring-necked Ducks (eight of which were on Lough Morne, Co.Monaghan), a Surf Scoter, three Black Brant, a Todd's Canada Goose, Taiga Bean Goose, five Tundra Bean Geese, two Ring-billed Gulls, a Kumlien's Gull, 13 Iceland Gulls and 10 Glaucous Gulls.
