	No new rarities were found today, but a bit if belated news concerned a West Siberian Stonechat at Icklesham in Sussex in November. The Grey-headed Lapwing remained in Northumberland and the Baikal Teal remained present in Somerset. Other lingering rarities included the Long-billed Dowitcher in Devon, Red-breasted Goose in Cumbria, Lesser Scaups in County Donegal, County Cork, Staffordshire and Essex, Ferruginous Ducks in Hertfordshire, Lincolnshire and Warwickshire, and Hume's Warbler in Cornwall.
