Other rarities on Scottish islands were a Pallas's Grasshopper Warbler new in Fife on the Isle of May and on Shetland White's Thrush, Turkestan Shrike, Lanceolated Warbler, Red-flanked Bluetail, Olive-backed Pipit, Eastern Subalpine Warbler, Eastern Stonechat species, Blyth's Reed Warbler, and Arctic Redpoll. Nearctic rarities comprised the Cape May Warbler still in County Mayo, Bobolink still on the Isles of Scilly, Northern Harrier in Cornwall, Forster's Tern in Dorset, both Wilson's Phalarope and Long-billed Dowitcher in Norfolk, Semipalmated Sandpiper, Lesser Yellowlegs, and White-rumped Sandpiper all together in Lincolnshire, Lesser Yellowlegs and Long-billed Dowitcher in County Cork, and Long-billed Dowitcher in County Wicklow.
