Tuesday 16th January 2007  
  One of the highlights of the day was the reappearance of the Black-eared Kite between Cley and Blakeney, Norfolk. Elsewhere, the Ross's Gull continued in Argyll, as did the Laughing Gull in Devon, Red-breasted Geese in Lincolnshire and American Herring Gull in Co Galway. A Lesser Scaup was a new discovery on Benbecula, Western Isles.

Overwintering Nearctic vagrants continued to be well represented with Bonaparte's Gulls in Co Antrim and the Isles of Scilly, Long-billed Dowitchers in Kent and Co Louth, Spotted Sandpiper in Cornwall and Lesser Yellowlegs in Norfolk.

  A Bonaparte's Gull near Dingle, Co Kerry was a new discovery whilst other Bonaparte's Gulls remained on the Isles of Scilly and in Co Antrim. Highlights from elsewhere in Ireland included the Bufflehead still in Co Clare and the American Herring Gull again showing well in Co Galway.

The increasingly mobile Barrow's Goldeneye was seen again near Callander, Forth and, in Norfolk, the Black-eared Kite relocated again; being present at Snettisham during the morning before being seen over Holkham and Warham Greens late in the afternoon. In Devon the Laughing Gull continued to show well in Newton Abbot.

The Lesser Yellowlegs that remains in Thornham Harbour, Norfolk headlined today’s cast of Nearctic waders, with the Spotted Sandpiper still in Cornwall and single Long-billed Dowitchers still in Anglesey, Kent and Co Louth.
