	The day's highlight came from the Scilly pelagic, where a Barolo Shearwater was recorded. Other new arrivals included a Greater Sand Plover at Haroldswick on Unst (Shetland), a White-winged Scoter off Musselburgh in Lothian, and two White-rumped Sandpipers, one at Ballycotton in County Cork and another at Montrose Basin in Angus. Continuing rarities included a Black-headed Bunting on Foula (Shetland), a Collared Pratincole in Suffolk, Lesser Yellowlegs in Lancashire, a Bonaparte’s Gull in Kent and County Cork, a Lesser Scaup in Greater Manchester, and a Ferruginous Duck in Leicestershire and Warwickshire.
