	The highlight of the day was the discovery of both an Eastern Olivaceous Warbler and a River Warbler on Fair Isle, Shetland Isles. Elsewhere a Long-billed Dowitcher was new in County Antrim at Belfast Lough, a Black-winged Stilt was in Norfolk at Burnham Overy and in County Cork a Red-rumped Swallow was found at Knockadoon and a Wilson's Petrel flew past Toe Head. Lingering rarities confirmed as still present were the Lesser Grey Shrike in Norfolk, two Blue-winged Teals in Clyde, Great Reed Warblers in both County Durham and West Yorkshire, both Savi's Warbler and Iberian Chiffchaff in Suffolk, Savi's Warbler on Anglesey, King Eider in Aberdeenshire, Iberian Chiffchaff and Ferruginous Duck in West Yorkshire, and Iberian Chiffchaff in Lancashire. Scarcities included Serin (Kent), Purple Heron (Norfolk), American Wigeon (County Wexford) and three each of both Glossy Ibis and migrant Red-necked Phalarope.
