The day's other finds included a Lesser Grey Shrike near Bigton on Mainland Shetland, a Red-footed Falcon at Sunk Island in East Yorkshire and a Blyth's Reed Warbler near Egremont in Cumbria. Lingering rarities included Iberian Chiffchaff in Suffolk, Gull-billed Terns in Kent and Co.Cork, Black-winged Stilt in Kent, Bonaparte's Gull in Western Isles and Lesser Yellowlegs in North Yorkshire.
