Lingering rarities confirmed as still present were the Sociable Lapwing in Cornwall, Baikal Teal and Kentish Plover in Somerset, Red-breasted Geese in Essex (2), Norfolk (2), and Northumberland, Penduline Tit in County Cork, Pallid Harriers in Carmarthenshire, Norfolk, and Pembrokeshire, Long-billed Dowitcher in East Sussex, Lesser Yellowlegs in Lincolnshire, Ferruginous Duck in Nottinghamshire, and Lesser Scaups in both Devon and Pembrokeshire.
