	Yesterday's probable Lesser Scaup was today seen well, and confirmed as such. Up to ten different Lesser Scaups have been present across the British Isles since the turn of the year, with Scotland and Ireland producing lion's share. Other rarities still present included the Barrow's Goldeneye in Forth, Spotted Sandpiper in Cornwall and Cattle Egret in Devon. Also present again were the newly-relocated Glossy Ibis in Lancs and the Long-billed Dowitcher on Anglesey.
