Sunday 6th October 2024  
  The highlight of the day was an Asian Desert Warbler in Norfolk at Winterton where it showed well all day after having first been seen there yesterday. On the Isles of Scilly a Tawny Pipit was new on St Mary's, and a Subalpine Warbler species was found at Mizen Head, County Cork.

Other eastern rarities today were the Paddyfield Warbler and two Lanceolated Warblers still on the Shetland Isles, Isabelline Shrike species in East Yorkshire, Arctic Warblers in both County Cork and Couty Galway, Blyth's Reed Warbler in Suffolk, Olive-backed Pipits on Shetland (2) and East Yorkshire, and Eastern Stonechat species in Norfolk and Northumberland (2).

From the Nearctic came a Long-billed Dowitcher in Leicestershire at Eyebrook Reservoir, the Pacific Diver again in County Cork, Baird's Sandpiper in County Wexford, Spotted Sandpiper in Fife, Lesser Yellowlegs in Essex, and Lesser Scaup in Staffordshire.
