	An adult Bonaparte's Gull was found today at Carnfunnock Bay, near Larne, in County Antrim. The Greater Sand Plover remained on the beaches around Newbiggin in Northumberland, while the Stejneger's Scoter in Lothian had moved to nearby Fisherrow. The Pacific Diver was reported again in County Clare and the Caspian Tern was reported in Cleveland. Other lingering rarities included Ferruginous Ducks in both Buckinghamshire and Warwickshire, Long-billed Dowitcher in County Wexford and Lesser Yellowlegs in Fife.
