	The highlight of the day was the discovery of a Pacific Golden Plover in Cornwall at Stithians Reservoir, whilst in East Yorkshire a Blyth's Reed Warbler was in song at Kilnsea. Brief encounters included a Black Kite in Kent, Bee-eater in Lincolnshire, and Red-rumped Swallows on both the Isles of Scilly and the Orkney Isles. Lingering rarities confirmed as still present were the American Black Tern in Northumberland, territorial Great Reed Warbler in Nottinghamshire, Iberian Chiffchaff in London, King Eider in Lothian, Ferruginous Duck in Staffordshire, and in South Yorkshire the pair of Black-winged Stilts remain at Potteric Carr where they now have two young. Scarcities included Marsh Warbler (Norfolk), Red-backed Shrike (Shetland Isles), American Wigeon (County Londonderry), two Rose-coloured Starlings, and a total of nine Glossy Ibises.
