	A male Red-footed Falcon was found on Scilly today, whilst in Cambridgeshire a female Ferrunginous Duck was found at Fen Drayton Lakes and two White-billed Divers were new at Skigersta on Lewis, Western Isles. Seven or more White-billed Divers were seen from a boat trip off Aberdeenshire with further birds seen off the Moray coast. Frampton Marsh in Lincolnshire still held Lesser Yellowlegs, Black-winged Stilt and Red-breasted Goose with another Red-breasted Goose still in north Norfolk along with the Long-billed Dowitcher. Other lingering rarities included Marsh Sandpiper in Hampshire, Savi's Warbler in Yorkshire, Lesser Scaup in County Wexford, Lesser Yellowlegs in County Louth, Bonaparte's Gulls in Carmarthenshire and Dorset and Ferruginous Duck in Kent.
