	The highlight of the day was the reappearance of the Alpine Accentor in Norfolk at Blakeney Point, whilst Pallid Swift reports today comprised singles in Angus, East Yorkshire, Kent, Lothian, Moray, Northumberland, Perth and Kinross, and Aberdeenshire. Discoveries included a Band-rumped Petrel species in Cornwall passing Lizard Point, a Pallid Harrier on the Isle of Wight at Fort Victoria, White-rumped Sandpiper in County Donegal at Inch Island Lake, Dusky Warbler on the Isles of Scilly on St Mary's, and on the Shetland Isles two Olive-backed Pipits on Mainland. Lingering rarities confirmed as present elsewhere were the Double-crested Cormorant in County Leitrim, Pied Wheatear in Northumberland, Pallid Harrier and Long-billed Dowitcher in Norfolk, Black Scoter in Northumberland, Blue-winged Teal in Lincolnshire, and Lesser Yellowlegs in both Merseyside and the Orkney Isles.
