Tuesday 13th February 2007
	Plenty of long staying rarities were available today, including the American Robin in West Yorkshire, Black-eared Kite in Norfolk, Barrow's Goldeneye in Forth, Lesser Scaup in Oxfordshire, Bonaparte's Gulls in Angus and Co Cork, Forster's Tern in Co Galway and Long-billed Dowitcher in Kent. The best of the rest were the Little Bunting in Hertfordshire and American Wigeons in Pembrokeshire and Norfolk, the latter apparently present since the 30th January. Belated news from Sunday related to the report of a first-winter Ross's Gull at Portavadie, Argyll and yet another Night Heron (of suspect origin) in the Northeast, this time at Mickletown in West Yorkshire.
