Saturday 3rd March 2007
	Today's highlight has again been the 3rd winter Glaucous-winged Gull in Carmarthenshire showing only occasionally for brief periods this afternoon. However, the Pacific Diver was far more obliging across the county border in Pembrokeshire and may have been some consolation for visiting birders who did not manage to catch a glimpse of the elusive gull. Elsewhere, the Gyr was still around Stepper Point, though proving far more elusive than yesterday. Also in Cornwall the Franklin's Gull was again on the Hayle Estuary alongside the White-billed Diver and Spotted Sandpiper. The Dusky Warbler was also seen today in Newquay. Away from Cornwall, a Penduline Tit was seen again at Rainham Marshes, London. In Scotland, a White-billed Diver was again off Lewis where the Snowy Owl was also seen again, as was the Bonaparte's Gull in Angus and the untagged White-tailed Eagle at the Loch of Strathbeg. The Barrow's Goldeneye in Forth, Lesser Scaup in Dumfries & Galloway and the Black-throated Thrush in Argyll were also still present.  In Ireland the Barrow's Goldeneye was seen again in Co.Down, the Forster's Tern and 4th winter American Herring Gull were both seen in Galway today
