	The highlight of the day was an unidentified orange-billed tern species seen briefly at Kilnsea, East Yorkshire. Rarities elsewhere comprised a Blue-winged Teal still in Clyde, Lesser Yellowlegs and Bonaparte's Gull together in Kent, Ferruginous Duck in East Sussex, and on the Shetland Isles a total of 37 Two-barred Crossbills noted at five sites including a flock of 18 at Stromfirth, Mainland. Scarcities included Rose-coloured Starling (Western Isles), Purple Heron (Suffolk), two Pectoral Sandpipers (East Sussex and Lancashire) and two Glossy Ibises (Devon and Merseyside).
