	The highlight of the day was the discovery of a Booted Warbler in East Yorkshire at Spurn whilst in Ayrshire a Lesser Yellowlegs was new at Capringstone Flash. Lingering rarities included Red-eyed Vireos in both County Antrim and County Cork, Pacific Golden Plover and Greenish Warbler together in Northumberland, Snowy Owl on the Western Isles, Hornemann's Arctic Redpoll on the Orkney Isles, Rustic Bunting in East Yorkshire, American Black Tern in County Galway, Blue-winged Teal in County Wexford, Long-billed Dowitchers in both Devon and West Yorkshire, and Black-winged Stilt in Berkshire. Elsewhere, on the Isles of Scilly Blue Rock Thrush, Rustic Bunting, Melodious Warbler, Dotterel and Red-backed Shrike were all on St Mary's with Short-toed Lark, Ortolan Bunting, Richard's Pipit and Hoopoe on other islands. On the Shetland Isles a Red-flanked Bluetail arrived on Unst, Snowy Owl, Semipalmated Sandpiper, Bee-eater and two Olive-backed Pipits were all located on Mainland, with around island totals of single American Golden Plover, Red-breasted Flycatcher, Barred Warbler, Red-backed Shrike, Pectoral Sandpiper and Lapland Bunting.
