Sunday 31st December 2006  
  The final day of the year brought reports of many over wintering rarities, including the Black-eared Kite in Norfolk, Barrow's Goldeneye in Forth, Ross's Gull in Argyll, Bonaparte's Gull in Angus, Spotted Sandpiper in Cornwall, Red-throated Pipit in Co Dublin and Falcated Duck in Devon.

A new Yellow-browed Warbler was discovered at Nanjizal, Cornwall - one of at least ten so far this winter - and a storm-blown Grey Phalarope arrived at Topsham, Devon. The Rose-coloured Starling was seen again at Kidwelly, Carmarthenshire.
