	Although there were no new discoveries reported today, a Great White Egret at Walberswick, Suffolk showed for the first time in a week and interest was maintained by the continued presence of several rarities. The Black-eared Kite remained around Snettisham, Norfolk, as did the Barrow's Goldeneye in Callander, Forth. The Lesser Yellowlegs continued to show well at Thornham Harbour, Norfolk and likewise the Spotted Sandpiper on the Hayle Estuary, Cornwall, Long-billed Dowitcher at Oare Marshes, Kent and Cattle Egret at Otterton, Devon. More northern white-winged gulls were reported with peak counts of Iceland Gulls including 15 on the Shetland Isles and 12 at Galway, Co Galway, with the fourth-winter American Herring Gull remaining at the latter site alongside four adult Ring-billed Gulls and two Glaucous Gulls.
