	The highlight of the day was the discovery of an Amur Wagtail on the Shetland Isles on Foula: the second British record of the leucopsis subspecies of Pied/White Wagtail. Discoveries elsewhere included a Greenish Warbler in East Yorkshire at Spurn and a Red-footed Falcon in Nottinghamshire at Attenborough. Otherwise rarities comprised the Great Snipe still in East Yorkshire, American Black Tern still in Northumberland, White-rumped Sandpiper in County Londonderry, King Eider in Aberdeenshire, Red-rumped Swallow and two White-billed Divers on Shetland, Black Kite in Cornwall, three Bee-eaters together in Kent, Ferruginous Duck in Nottinghamshire, and Black-winged Stilts in County Clare (2), Norfolk (2), Nottinghamshire (2), and Somerset. Scarcities included Red-breasted Flycatcher (Orkney Isles), Serin (Kent), Montagu's Harrier (Lincolnshire), Surf Scoter (Fife), Ring-necked Duck (West Yorkshire), Green-winged Teal (Warwickshire), two each of Common Rosefinch, Golden Oriole, Temminck's Stint, and Grey-headed Wagtail, three of Icterine Warbler and Night Heron, four Marsh Warblers, and seven of Red-backed Shrike and Glossy Ibis.
