Tuesday 6th February 2007  
  No new rarities were reported today and consequently lingering wildfowl proved very popular. The wintering Barrow's Goldeneye was again near Callander in Forth, the Bufflehead was still in Co.Clare and the returning Black Scoter was again off Llanfairfechan, Conwy. Also Lesser Scaups were still in Dumfries & Galloway and Oxfordshire as were Ferruginous Ducks in Bedfordshire & Kent.

Elsewhere American Robin was still at Bingley in West Yorkshire showing on & off, while a single Penduline Tit showed well this morning at Rainham Marshes RSPB in London, while the Forster's Tern was again noted in Co.Cork.  Lesser Yellowlegs in Norfolk, Long-billed Dowitcher in Kent and Spotted Sandpiper in Cornwall were also still present today.

However, there was no sign of the Black-throated Thrush on Bute, Argyll or the Red-breasted Goose in Forth.
