	In Co.Cork, a Wilson's Petrel lingered a while off Toe Head. A Black Kite flew over Woodborough in Nottinghamshire. There were four White-rumped Sandpipers around The Wash, with two at both Snettisham in Norfolk and Freiston Shore in Lincolnshire. There were also two in Co.Wexford, and the ongoing bird in East Yorkshire. The rest of the day's rarities comprised Forster's Tern in Co.Louth, Squacco Heron and Ferruginous Duck in Sussex, Bonaparte's Gull in Kent, and Long-billed Dowitchers in Lincolnshire and Co.Derry. Among the best of the rest were Melodious Warbler (Cornwall), Marsh Warbler (Shetland), two Night Herons (Gloucestershire and Co.Wexford), Barred Warbler (Shetland), Pectoral Sandpiper (Norfolk), Red-necked Phalarope (Northumberland), Pomarine Skua (Co.Durham), Glossy Ibis (Gwent), three Great Shearwaters and 20 Balearic Shearwaters.
