	An excellent Eyebrowed Thrush was a superb find on North Ronaldsay in Orkney today, the fourth record for the island. Lingering rarities included White-winged Scoter in Lothian, Lesser Scaups in Fife, Devon, Staffordshire and County Donegal, Ferruginous Ducks in London and Lincolnshire, Pallid Harriers in Devon and Norfolk, Spotted Sandpiper in Fife, White-rumped Sandpipers in Devon, Gloucestershire, County Donegal (2) and County Derry (2+), Long-billed Dowitcher in Orkney, Bonaparte's Gull in Cornwall, Hume's Warbler in East Yorkshire and probable Amur Stonechat in Suffolk.
