Wednesday 28th February 2007  
  The highlight of the day was the reappearance of the confiding White-billed Diver on the Hayle Estuary, Cornwall. The bird remained with a small group of Great Northern Divers throughout the day and showed very well. Supporting cast at this site included the wintering Spotted Sandpiper and Lesser Whitethroat, the latter thought probably to be of Central Asian form halimodendri.

Elsewhere, the Barrow's Goldeneye remained in Forth as did the Black-eared Kite in Norfolk, Bonaparte's Gull in Angus, Lesser Scaup in Dumfries and Galloway, Long-billed Dowitchers in Kent and Co Louth and both Forster's Tern and American Herring Gull in Co Galway.

The Glossy Ibis reappeared at Ballam, Lancashire and the Laughing Gull in Devon relocated to Seaton. Despite adverse weather, Sand Martins pushed north as far as Cumbria and a Little Ringed Plover arrived in Greater Manchester.
