	A Pacific Golden Plover was found at Breydon Water in Norfolk. 14 Two-barred Crossbills in Shetland included 10 new arrivals; another was on North Ronaldsay in Orkney. The two White-rumped Sandpipers were still in Aberdeenshire, while other stayers were included the Long-billed Dowitcher in Co.Antrim, Lesser Yellowlegs and Bonaparte's Gull in Kent, Pied-billed Grebe in Argyll, Blue-winged Teal in Clyde and Ferruginous Duck in Sussex. The day's supporting cast comprised Rose-coloured Starling (Shetland), two Pectoral Sandpipers (Sussex and Co.Donegal), Ring-billed Gull (Co.Cork), three Cory's Shearwaters (Cornwall) and two Glossy Ibises.
