	The highlight of the day was the discovery of a Hume's Warbler in Kent at Elmstone; the third in that county this year with further birds in Norfolk and Somerset (the latter still present today). Rarities elsewhere today comprised the Greater Yellowlegs still in County Waterford, two Penduline Tits together in Somerset, Eastern Yellow Wagtail in Suffolk, Long-billed Dowitcher and two Ferruginous Ducks in Norfolk, White-rumped Sandpiper in Gloucestershire, Red-breasted Goose in Argyll, and King Eider in Cleveland. Scarcities included Pallas's Warbler (County Durham), Snow Goose (County Offaly), two Richard's Pipits, three Green-winged Teals, six Ring-necked Ducks, 10 Glossy Ibises, and a total of 21 Waxwings.
