	Rarities today comprised the Belted Kingfisher still in Lancashire at Red Scar Wood, Isabelline Shrike species still in Pembrokeshire at Marloes, King Eider again in Lothian at Portobello, and two Lesser Scaups together in Devon at Beesands Ley. Scarcities included Serin (County Durham), American Wigeon (Derbyshire), Great Grey Shrike (Norfolk), Little Auk (well inland in Oxfordshire) two Green-winged Teals, three each of Lapland Bunting, Glossy Ibis, and Grey Phalarope, four Surf Scoters, five Ring-necked Ducks, and a total of 11 Shorelarks. Significant late news concerned the first Red-flanked Bluetail for Shropshire that was caught on a camera trap recently.
