	The highlight of the day was the discovery of a Little Bittern in Hertfordshire at Amwell, with a Dusky Warbler new in Cornwall at Polgigga. Lingering rarities confirmed as still present were the Paddyfield Pipit in Cornwall, Steller's Eider and Blue Rock Thrush on the Orkney Isles, White-winged Scoter in Lothian, two Eastern Yellow Wagtails in Suffolk, Isabelline Wheatear in Norfolk, Hume's Warbler in East Yorkshire and Long-billed Dowitcher in Northumberland. Scarcities included Pallas's Warbler (Cornwall), Serin (East Sussex), Ring-billed Gull (County Sligo), Surf Scoter (Lothian), two each of both Rose-coloured Starling and Ring-necked Duck, and three Rough-legged Buzzards.
