	The highlight of the day was the discovery of a Black-throated Thrush in Lincolnshire at Grimsby. Rarities elsewhere comprised Eastern Yellow Wagtails still in both Norfolk and Northumberland, West Siberian Stonechat in Cheshire, Richardson's Cackling Goose in Aberdeenshire, Blue-winged Teal in Devon, Bonaparte's Gull in County Wexford, Lesser Yellowlegs in County Londonderry, and Long-billed Dowitchers in both Devon and Merseyside. Scarcities included Little Bunting (East Sussex), Purple Heron (Lancshire), Great Grey Shrike (Gloucestershire), two Yellow-browed Warblers, three Rough-legged Buzzards, four Ring-billed Gulls, five each of Ring-necked Duck and Green-winged Teal, and six Shorelarks.
