Tuesday 9th January 2007  
  The two new rarities discovered today were both in Ireland: a first-winter Bonaparte's Gull at Whitehead, Co Antrim and, potentially of much greater significance, a dowitcher - believed to be a Short-billed Dowitcher (but not heard to call) - a Dundalk, Co Louth.

Elsewhere many of the long-staying rarities remained with the Black-eared Kite still at Snettisham, Norfolk, Barrow's Goldeneye at Loch Venachar, Forth, Bufflehead at Lough Atedaun, Co Clare, Ross's Gull at Ormsary Water, Argyll and two Red-breasted Geese still with Dark-bellied Brent Geese at Donna Nook, Lincolnshire.
