	A female Two-barred Crossbill arrived in Shetland on Out Skerries. There was a possible sighting of the Giant Petrel sp passing Dunbar in the morning, and late news emerged of a Roller on a boat off Lundy on Sunday. Among the rarities still in place were the Baikal Teal in Northumberland, Collared Pratincole in Carmarthenshire, Gull-billed Tern in Wirral, Lesser Yellowlegs in Norfolk, Blue-winged Teal in Clyde, Savi's Warbler in Anglesey, Blyth's Reed Warbler in Shetland and two Black-winged Stilts together in Norfolk. The best of the rest included Red-breasted Flycatcher (trapped and ringed in Northamptonshire), White-winged Black Tern (Cleveland), Purple Heron (Somerset), two Serins (together in Dorset), six Rose-coloured Starlings, Temminck's Stint (Cleveland), Marsh Warbler (Shetland), Green-winged Teal (Norfolk) and two Glossy Ibises.
