	The wandering Booted Eagle was seen again in Norfolk today, this time over Martham. New Red-footed Falcons were found in Cambridgeshire (3), Lincolnshire, Norfolk, Suffolk, Dorset and Cornwall. In County Mayo there was a Lesser Yellowlegs at Roonagh Lough and in Scilly a Red-rumped Swallow made appearances on both St.Agnes and St.Mary's. A further 18 Red-footed Falcons were reported as still present at various sites from Cornwall to Norfolk, with a single in County Wexford. Other lingering rarities included Ferruginous Duck in Warwickshire, Kentish Plover in Lothian, Lesser Yellowlegs in Yorkshire and Great Reed Warbler in Cambridgeshire, with a further brief sighting of the Western Bonelli's Warbler this morning in Kent.
