	The highlight of the day was the discovery of a Moltoni's Subalpine Warbler on the Shetland Isles in Lerwick, with a Rustic Bunting new-in on Foula. Elsewhere, a Lesser Grey Shrike was found in Lothian at Halfland, a Black Kite was seen briefly in Kent, and a Bee-eater flew over in East Yorkshire. Rarities elsewhere comprised the Asian Desert Warbler still in Northumberland, Pied-billed Grebe in Argyll, Subalpine Warbler species on Shetland, Savi's Warbler in Norfolk, Iberian Chiffchaff in Suffolk, Lesser Scaup on the Western Isles, Lesser Yellowlegs in North Yorkshire, Blyth's Reed Warblers in both Lincolnshire and Shetland, and Red-footed Falcons in North Yorkshire and Suffolk (2). Scarcities included Serin (Aberdeenshire), Hoopoe (Cumbria), Common Rosefinch (Shetland), Waxwing (Shetland), Red-necked Phalarope (Northumberland), American Wigeon (Northumberland), Glossy Ibis (Worcestershire), five Marsh Warblers, and a total of nine Rose-coloured Starlings.
