	The highlight of the day was the discovery of a Marsh Sandppiper in Kent at Cliffe whilst on the Shetland Isles a Black-headed Bunting was located at Noness, Mainland, a Lesser Yellowlegs was at Scatness, and on Fair Isle there was an Eastern Subalpine Warbler. Lingering rarities confirmed as still present were the Eastern Olivaceous Warbler on Fair Isle, Black-winged Pratincole in Lincolnshire, Baikal Teal in Northumberland, Blue-winged Teal in Clyde, Long-billed Dowitcher in County Antrim, territorial Great Reed Warblers in both County Durham and West Yorkshire, Savi's Warbler on Anglesey and Iberian Chiffchaffs in Lancashire and Suffolk. Scarcities included Icterine Warbler (Hampshire), Serin (Kent), Purple Heron, Spotted Crake and Green-winged Teal (all Norfolk), Marsh Warbler and Common Rosefinch (Shetland Isles), Ring-necked Duck (Worcestershire) and two each of both Rose-coloured Starling and Glossy Ibis.
