	New rarities discovered today comprised, on the Shetland Isles, a Great Reed Warbler on Mainland at Quendale, Rustic Buntings on both Fair Isle and Foula, and a male Eastern Stonechat species - probably a Caspian Stonechat - on Fetlar, with, elsewhere, now three Collared Pratincoles together in Kent at Dungeness, a Great Reed Warbler in Cambridgeshire at Teversham, and Black Kites briefly in both Devon and Kent. Lingering rarities confirmed as still present were the Red-necked Stint in Northumberland, River Warbler in Somerset, Pied-billed Grebe in Argyll, territorial Great Reed Warblers in both Northumberland and Nottinghamshire, Red-footed Falcons in Norfolk and Suffolk, Lesser Yellowlegs, White-billed Diver, and two King Eiders on Shetland, Bee-eater in Pembrokeshire, and a White-billed Diver on the Western Isles.
