	The highlight of the day was another Fea's Petrel species in Ireland that passed Galley Head, County Cork this evening whilst nearby probable Black-browed Albatross was seen from both Ballycotton and Seven Heads. Lingering rarities confirmed as still present were the elusive Hudsonian Godwit in Flintshire, Canvasback in Essex, Stejneger's Scoter in Lothian, Franklin's Gull in Cornwall, Spotted Sandpiper in Pembrokeshire, Semipalmated Sandpipers in Cornwall and West Sussex, White-rumped Sandpipers in Moray and Norfolk, Citrine Wagtail in Shetland Isles, Black Kite in County Wexford, Lesser Scaup in Staffordshire, Blue-winged Teal in East Yorkshire, and Bonaparte's Gull in Kent.
