	The only new rarity discovered today was a Great White Egret at Tacumshin, Co Wexford - found in the afternoon by birders searching for the subadult male Montagu's Harrier that has been present there for over a week. On Shetland the adult Laughing Gull put in another appearance; this time on Mainland at Toab, whilst the Bee-eater remained on Yell at Camb. Whilst the Great Reed Warbler in Angus remained on territory at Loch of Kinnordy the individual present yesterday at Far Ings, Lincolnshire appeared to have left overnight.
