  Another White-rumped Sandpiper was found this morning, this one at Frampton in Lincolnshire, with lingering White-rumped Sandpipers confirmed still present at Kilnsea in East Yorkshire (two), Snettisham in Norfolk and Thorntonloch in Lothian.

There was no sign of the Black-winged Pratincole in Northumberland but lingering rarities still present included the Western Bonelli's Warbler on Scilly, the Zitting Cisticola and Black Stork in Suffolk, the Lesser Scaup in Greater Manchester and Bonaparte's Gulls in Aberdeenshire and Kent.
