	The first Fea's/Desertas Petrel of the year was seen this evening from a pelagic off the Isles of Scilly. A Kentish Plover visited Gibraltar Point, Lincolnshire briefly, and three Two-barred Crossbills were at Norwick, Unst, Shetland. Lingering rarities included the Squacco Heron in Sussex, Snowy Owl in Shetland, Forster's Tern in County Louth, Wilson's Petrel in Scilly, Long-billed Dowitcher in Lincolnshire, White-rumped Sandpipers in County Wexford, Yorkshire, Lincolnshire (two) and Norfolk, Bonaparte's Gull in Kent and Ferruginous Duck in Sussex. Scarcity highlights included a Grey Phalarope, a Pectoral Sandpiper, a White-winged Black Tern, a Montagu's Harrier, a Glossy Ibis and two Surf Scoters.
