| The highlights of the day were a mobile adult Bonaparte's Gull at East Chevington and Cresswell, Northumberland and a fine juvenile
Semipalmated Sandpiper at Keyhaven Marshes, Hampshire. Other Semipalmated Sandpipers
remained at Smerwick Harbour, Co Kerry and on St Agnes, Isles of Scilly. Other Scilly rarities included a
Subalpine Warbler on Bryher and the White-rumped Sandpiper on Tresco. In East Anglia the female Red-footed Falcon showed well at Minsmere, Suffolk but a first-winter Citrine Wagtail at Stiffkey Fen, Norfolk only made a brief appearance. |

| The Scottish Islands stole the limelight today, and probably not for the last
time this autumn, with an Arctic Warbler on Fetlar, in the Shetlands, and
a Booted Warbler on Tiree, in Argyll. The latter island also still hosted
both an American Golden Plover and a Pacific Golden Plover.
The Snowy Owl remained on North Uist, in the Western Isles, with a Buff-breasted Sandpiper and a possible American Herring Gull on South Uist. A Melodious Warbler remained on Fair Isle, Shetlands, while in the Orkneys there was some good seawatching with 44 Great Shearwaters and 2 Cory's Shearwaters past North Ronaldsay. Not to be outdone, south-west Ireland produced another Fea's Petrel, this one past Cape Clear Island in County Cork. Elsewhere, a White-rumped Sandpiper was on Tresco in The Scillies, and Great White Egrets were again at Chigborough in Essex and Sturminster in Dorset. Two Long-tailed Skuas went past Dungeness, Kent, eight Spoonbills were together at Havergate Island in Suffolk, a Wryneck was in London at Bushy Park and inland Temminck's Stints were at Foxcote Reservoir, Buckinghamshire and Lound in Nottinghamshire. |
