	A quiet day today, with no new rarities being reported. The highlight again has to be the juvenile Black-eared Kite still roaming North Norfolk seen today over Blakeney Point and Thornham where the Lesser Yellowlegs was also again present. Elsewhere the 1st-winter Laughing Gull was still in Newton Abbot at various locations throughout the morning, also in Devon the Cattle Egret was also still present. The adult Bonaparte's Gull was still in Angus this morning with 1st winters still on the Isles of Scilly and in Co. Antrim, while in Cornwall the Spotted Sandpiper was also noted again today on the Hayle. In Bedfordshire the female Ferruginous Duck was seen again as was the 1st-winter Long-billed Dowitcher in Kent, however only one of the Red-breasted Geese was seen today in Lincolnshire.
