	Although no new rarities were found it was still a busy day around the country. In Norfolk the Black-eared Kite was still seen occasionally just south of Snettisham RSPB and nearby the intermediate morph Lesser Snow Goose was still at Holkham. Bucephala were well represented with both Barrow's Goldeneyes remaining in Forth and Country Antrim and both Buffleheads still present in County Antrim and Shetland. The Lesser Yellowlegs in County Cork was reported for the first time since the new year, as was the White-rumped Sandpiper there. Other rarities included the wintering Ferruginous Duck in Kent and the Falcated Duck, Cattle Egret and Spotted Sandpiper all continuing to be seen in the South-west. Photos of an apparent Whistling Swan seen recently in Norfolk emerged and may fuel debate on yesterdays possible sighting in Lincolnshire.
