	A dark morph Booted Eagle flew over Bissoe, near Redruth in Cornwall. Other new raptors found today were a female Pallid Harrier, which was seen coming in off the sea at Titchwell, Norfolk, then continuing inland where it was later found on a fence post, but then continued southwards, and a Red-footed Falcon, which flew west over Bray's Cott in Cornwall. A singing Greenish Warbler spent the day in the trapping area at Dungeness, Kent, and there was a Richardson's Cackling Goose on Oronsay in Argyll. On Fair Isle the Northern Parula remained in the Vailas Trees/shop area. Other lingering rarities included Kentish Plover in Leicestershire, Black-winged Kite in Norfolk, Black Scoter in Fife, Lesser Scaup in Buckinghamshire, Red-footed Falcon in Dorset, American Black Tern in Northumberland, Iberian Chiffchaff in County Durham and the Great Reed Warbler in Somerset.
