	A Hudsonian Whimbrel made a brief appearance on rocks at South Gare in Cleveland. An Eastern Stonechat sp (thought most likely to be maurus) was discovered near Easington in East Yorkshire. In Cornwall, a new Dusky Warbler was trapped and ringed in the Nanjizal Valley, where an Olive-backed Pipit flew over. Three White-billed Divers were off Papa Westray. Still present were the Lesser Scaup in Somerset, Long-billed Dowitchers in North Yorkshire and Cumbria, Dusky Warbler in Norfolk, and Lesser Yellowlegs in Norfolk, North Yorkshire and Co.Waterford. Other highlights included Red-necked Phalarope (Glamorgan), Little Bunting (Surrey), Serin (Kent), Bluethroat (Fair Isle), Rose-coloured Starling (Dorset), five Great Grey Shrikes, two Shorelarks, Sabine's Gull (Gwynedd), American Golden Plover (Argyll), Surf Scoter (Lothian), three Green-winged Teal, five Ring-necked Ducks, 20 Glossy Ibises, 45 Little Auks and a late Honey Buzzard (Northumberland).
