	The highlight of the day was the discovery of a Lesser Grey Shrike in Derbyshire at Sandiacre. On the Shetland Isles the Calandra Lark remained Fair Isle, with two Red-rumped Swallows and a White-billed Diver on nearby Mainland. In Somerset the River Warbler remained on territory, as were the Great Reed Warblers in both Northumberland and Nottinghamshire, a Collared Pratincole showed again in Kent, and a probable Spanish Wagtail remained in County Kerry. Scarcities included Icterine Warbler (Shetland Isles), Golden Oriole (Cornwall), Purple Heron (Hampshire), Pectoral Sandpiper (Orkney Isles), Red-necked Phalarope (Northumberland), Sabine's Gull (Isles of Scilly), Glossy Ibis (Kent), two each of Woodchat Shrike, Common Rosefinch, Hoopoe, and Ring-necked Duck, three Marsh Warblers, four Long-tailed Skuas, and a total of 24 Rose-coloured Starlings.
