	Late in the day, a female Red-footed Falcon was encountered on roadside wires south of West Ayton in North Yorkshire. 10 Two-barred Crossbills in Shetland included six new birds. Ongoing rarities were Arctic Warbler on Fair Isle, the Lesser Yellowlegs and Bonaparte's Gull in Kent, Ferruginous Duck in Sussex and Savi's Warbler in Anglesey. Scarcities were limited to three Pectoral Sandpipers (Lancashire, Sussex and Co.Donegal), Serin (Kent), three Balearic Shearwaters (Dorset), Leach's Petrel (Fair Isle) and Pomarine Skua (Fife).
